Answer 1

The correct answer is $166,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Credit sales for Jan. = $100,000

Cash sales for Jan. = $60,000

cash sales to increase in Feb = 10%

So, we can calculate the cash collection in Feb by using following method:

Cash collection in Feb = Cash Sales for Feb + Credit sales for Jan.

= $66,000 + $100,000

= $166,000
