    (a) $200,100

    (b) $200,100

    Explanation:

    The movement in the accounts receivable balance at the start and end of an accounting period is due to cash payments, additional credit sales, and any amount written off during the period.

    This may be expressed mathematically as

    opening balance + sales - cash collected - amount written off = closing balance

    $35,100 + $361,800 - cash collected = $196,800

    Cash collected = $35,100 + $361,800 - $196,800

    = $200,100
