Answer: C. $140,300

Explanation:

Cash balance on Sept 1 is $71,500

Sales: $140,000*15%+$140,000

Sales in sept = $21,000+ $140,000

= $161,000

Cash collected Sept =$161,000*30%

= $48,300

Cash collected in sept for August sales = $140,000*70%= $98,000

Purchases Sept = $85,000

Cash purchases = $85,000*25%

= $21,250

Cash purchases in August = $75,000*75%= $56,250

Ending cash bal in Sept = $71,500+ $48,300 + 98,000- $21,250 - 56,250 = $140,300

Answer:

C $140 300

Explanation:

First we identify credit and cash sales in both months

Item                             August                   September

Sales                           $140000                  15% higher (140000*1.15) =$161000

Purchases                  $75 000                    $85000

Cash sales                                                 for prev month (140000*0.7)=$98000

                                                                  for current month (161000*0.3)=4830

Purchases                                                 for prev month (75000*0.75)=56250

                                                                 for current month (85000*0.25)=21250

Calculate the ending cash balance for September

Opening balance = $71500

So add cash sales and subtract cash purchases = 71500+98000+4830-56250-21250 =$140300
