The correct answer is B

Explanation:

The amount of cash to be collected or received in the month of July is computed as:

Amount of cash received in the July month = (July Sales * 10%) + (June Sales * 90% * 75%) + (May Sales * 90% * 17%) + (April Sales * 90% * 6%)

where

July Sales is $58,000

June Sales is $56,000

May Sales is $50,000

April Sales is $46,000

Putting the values:

= ($58,000 * 10%) + ($56,000 * 90% * 75%) + ($50,000 * 90% * 17%) + ($46,000 * 90% * 6%)

= $5,800 + $37,800 + $7,650 + $2,484

= $53,734
