Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

September = $6,000

October = $10,000

November = $16,000

December = $12,000

Of the company's sales, 20 percent are paid for by cash, and 80 percent are sold on credit.

Cash collection November:

Sales in cash = (16,000*0.2) = 3,200

Sales on account October = (10,000*0.8) * 0.4 = 3,200

Sales on account September = (6,000*0.8) * 0.6 = 2,880

Total cash collection = $9,280

Cash collection December:

Sales in cash = (12,000*0.2) = 2,400

Sales on account October = (10,000*0.8) * 0.6 = 4,800

Sales on account November = (16,000*0.8) * 0.4 = 5,120

Total cash collection = $12,320
