Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Budgeted sales in September = $260,000

Budgeted sales in October = $375,000

Budgeted sales in November = $400,000

Percent of merchandise sells for cash = 30%

Percent of merchandise sells on account = 70%

Out of the credit sales,

80% are expected to be collected in the month of the sale.

20% in the month following the sale.

Therefore, the cash collections in September from accounts receivable will include only 80% of the credit sales in September as Nuthatch corporations starts its operation on September 1, hence there will be no sales in August.

Cash Collections From Accounts Receivables;

= 80% of the credit sales in September

= 0.8 × (70% × $260,000)

= 0.8 × $182,000

= $145,600
