Answer 1

None of the other answers are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

February Data is given as :

Total Sales Revenue = $160,000

Total Cash Collections = $172,000

Thus the using the February Total Credit Sales in January will be

40 % = February Cash Collection

= $172,000 × 40%

= $68,800

50 % of remainder = February credit sales collection

= (172,000 - 68,800) × 50%

= $51,600

50 % of remainder = January credit sales collection

= (172,000 - 68,800) × 50%

= $51,600

Then January Credit Sales will be : $51,600 × 2 = $103,200

But this is only 60 % of the total sales.

The full 100 % will be : 100 % / 60 % × $103,200 = $172,000

Therefore,

Using this data give None of the other answers are correct
