Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

Computation for the amount of accounts receivable to be reported on the company's budgeted balance sheet for August.

First step

Total sales of August = 0.25 × $200,000

Total cash sales = $50,000

Last step

Total credit sales for the month of August = Total sales in August - Total cash sales in August

Total credit sales for the month of August= $200,000 - $50,000

Total credit sales for the month of August= $150,000

Therefore the amount of accounts receivable to be reported on the company's budgeted balance sheet for August is $150,000
