    (E) The firm will collect a total of $2,400 in Quarter 4.

    Explanation:

    We will calcualte under two assumptions:

    the sales are done uniformly over the quarter and the collection period is the same over the entire year

    With this we conclude the following:

    each quarter has 90 days

    the sales from day 1 to 45 will be collected within the quearter while the sales from 46 to 90 will be collected on the next quarter.

    so half the sales will be collected during the quarter as sales are done uniformly.

    Collection on Q1

    2,100 / 2 = 1,050

    collection on Q2

    1,050 + 1,600/2 = 1,850

    collection on Q3

    800 + 2,500/2 = 2,050

    collection on Q4

    1,250 + 2,300/2 = 2,400
