b. $1,560, $780

Explanation:

Step 1. Given information.

Chester Corporation received orders of 156 units at a price of $15.00 for their product Cozy. Which means $2.340 income. 104 units for march and remaining 52 in April. The payment is received in three periods: 52 march, 52 april and 52 May

Step 2. Formulas needed to solve the exercise.

Income in march = Units payed * price per unit

Income in April = Units payed * price per unit

Step 3. Calculation and step 4. Solution.

Income in march = 104 * 14 = $1560

Income in April = 52 * 15 = $780

Note: because receiving order does not mean the sale is done. the 52 unit is dispatched in april, so we will take sales for april as 52 x 15.
