    Explanation:

    The March expected cash receipts is shown below:

    Based on January month

    = Projected sales * credit percentage * collection percentage

    = $75,000 * 80% * 30%

    = $18,000

    Based on February month

    = Projected sales * credit percentage * collection percentage

    = $92,000 * 80% * 50%

    = $36,800

    Based on March month

    = Projected sales * credit percentage * collection percentage

    = $60,000 * 80% * 20%

    = $9,600

    So, the expected cash receipts on march month is

    = $18,000 + $36,800 + $9,600

    = 64,400

    Since the 20% represents cash sales so 80% is credit sales
