Answer:
$294,600
Explanation:
Given that,
September sales = $303,000
October sales = $289,000
Monthly sales are 80% credit and 20% cash.
Of the credit sales, 50% are collected in the month of sale, and 50% are collected in the following month.
Cash collections for the month of October:
= 20% of October sales + 50% of the credit sales in October + 50% of the credit sales in September
= (0.2 × $289,0000 + (0.5 × 0.8 × $289,000) + (0.5 × 0.8 × $303,000)
= $57,800 + $115,600 + $121,200
= $294,600
