Answer:

$284,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of cash collections is shown below:-

Cash sales of October = $282,000 × 80%

= $225,600

Credit sales collection

September = ($304,000 × 20%) × 50%

= $30,400

October = $282,000 × 20% × 50%

= $28,200

Total cash collections for the month of October = Cash sales of October + Credit sales collection of September + Credit sales collection of October

= $225,600 + $30,400 + $28,200

= $284,200
