Answer 1

Total cash receipts in October = $137,300

Total cash receipts in November = $120,825

Total cash receipts in December = $164,925

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Total cash receipts in October = Cash sales in October + September sales collection in October + October sales collection in October

= $108,000 × 30% + $86,000 + $108,000 ×70% × 25%

= $137,300

Total cash receipt in November = Cash sales in November + October sales collection in November + November sales collection in November

= $135,000 × 30% + $108,000 × 70% × 75% + $135,000 × 70% × 25%

= $120,825

Total cash receipt in December = Cash sales in December + November sales collected in December + December sales collected in December

= $198,000×30% + $135,000 × 70% × 75% + $198,000 × 70% × 25%

= $164,925
