Answer:

The total cash collected in January is $121600 and option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The collections in the month of January will contain an amount equal to 20% of January sales as cash sales.

Cash Sales January = 120000 * 0.2 = $24000

The January collections will also include the collections from accounts receivables for the amount of 40% of credit sales of December. The Opening accounts receivables in each month are equal to 40% of previous month's sales. Thus, the opening accounts receivables in January of $40000 will also be collected.

The credit sales for January = 120000 - 24000 = $96000

Out of these, 60% will be collected in January = 96000 * 0.6 = $57600

The total cash collected in January = 24000 + 40000 + 57600 = $121600
