Answer 1

Answer: Check attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The cash collection was calculated as:

a. (90-45)/90 = 1/2

Q1 = 1700 + (1/2 × 3900)

= 1700 + 1950

= 3650

Q2 = 1950 + (1/2 × 4700)

= 1950 + 2350

= 4300

Q3 = 2350 + (1/2 × 4300)

= 2350 + 2150

= 4500

Q4 = 2150 + (1/2 × 3600)

= 2150 + 1800

= 3950
