Answer 1

Answer: $152,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The cash collection for February would be:

• 25% of the sales in January as 25% are collected in the following months
• 75% of February credit sales as 75% are collected in the month of sale

= (25% * 250,000) + (75% * 120,000)

= 62,500 + 90,000

= $152,500
