Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate cash sales

Total Sales = 135,000 + 143,000 = 278,000

Therefore cash Sales = Cost per unit sold for first half divided by cost per unit for second half multiply by total sales for both first and second half

= 73,800/79,500× 278,000

= 258,067.92
