    Answer and Explanation:

    $61,000 = 40000+32000-13000+2000

    Find the difference between the beginning and ending accounts receivable.

    $105,000 - $92,000 = $13,000

    Subtract this from the cash received on accounts receivable to find the amount of credit sales.

    $32,000 - $13,000 = $19,000

    Add this to the cash sales.

    $19,000 + $40,000 = $59,000

    Adjust for the direct write offs.

    $59,000 + $2,000 = $61,000
