(B) $169,800

Explanation:

For computing the cash receipts from accounts receivable, the following calculations should be done which is shown below:

= 60% of August sales + 36% of July sales

= 60% * $211,000 + 36% * $120,000

= $126,600 + $43,200

= $169,800

The 4% will be uncollectible, so it will be not be considered in the computation part, and the September sales is ignored.
