The total cash receipt in the month of April amounts to $42,023

Explanation:

Total cash receipt in the month of April = March credit sales amount + April credit sale amount (25% is received) + April cash sales amount

= $29,400 * 67% + $32,900 * 25% + $14,100

= $19,698 + $8,225 + $14,100

= $42,023

Working Note:

March credit sales = March sales * 70%

= $42,000 * 70%

= $29,400

April Cash Sales = April Sales * 30%

= $47,000 * 30%

= $14,100

April Credit Sale = April Sales * 70%

= $47,000 * 70%

= $32,900

From the credit sale, 25% is received in the month of April

So,

= $32,900 * 25%

= $8,225
