Answer:
c.$209,160
Explanation:
Given that the cash received from each sale will be collected over 2 months. If 30% of mechanize is to be sold for cash, then 70% will be sold on account. Further more, 80% of the credit/sale on account will be collected in the month of sale and 20% in the following month.
Hence for October, cash collection will include 20% of credit sale from September and 80% of the credit sale in the month.
Given that sales in September is $250,000
Amount expected to sold on account
= $250,000 - (30% × $250,000)
= $175,000
Amount expected to be collected from this sale in October
= 20% × $175,000
= $35,000
Amount of credit sale in October
= $311,000 - (30% × $311,000)
= $217,700
Amount of this credit sale to be collected in October
= 80% × $217,700
= $174,160
Total collected from accounts receivable in October
= $174,160 + $35,000
= $209,160
