d.$133,600

Explanation:

Credit sales in January = $120,000 x 80% = $96,000

Credit sales in February = $140,000 x 80% = $112,000

Collections from January credit sales ($96,000 x 40%) $38,400

Add: Collections from March credit sales ($112,000 x 60%) $67,200

Add: Cash sales in March ($140,000 x 20%) $28,000

Total collections in February $133,600
