The answer is $137,600

Explanation:

Budgeted sales for September = $110,000

Budgeted sales for October = $170,000

Credit sales for September:

0.6 x $110,000

$66,000

90% will be collected the following month (October)

0.9 x $66,000

=$59,400.

Credit sales for October:

0.6 x $170,000

$102,000

10% will be collected the same month (October)

0.1 x $102,000

=$10,200

Cash sales in October

0.4 x $170,000

$68,000

The total October cash collections from customers is

$59,400 + $10,200 + $68,000

= $137,600
