Determine the amount of sales revenue McCarty will report on the first 2012 quarterly pro forma income statement

McCarty expects to collect 70 percent of accounts receivable in the month of sale, 20 percent in the month following the sale, and 10 percent in the second month following the sale
Prepare a cash receipts schedule for the first quarter 2012?
Determine the amount of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2012

so a matter of simple mathematics

200000*1.1 = February * 1.1 = March
January + February + March =

200000*.7 = January 200000* .2 =February 200000 *.1 = March

and so on

Once you add Jan, Feb, and March together which is 262,00 how would you set the next step up? Could you please help?
