    The correct answer would be option C, $984000

    Explanation:

    Account Receivables on January 1 = $296000

    Expected Sales for January = $860000

    Cash sale Expectation = 20% of Sales

    = 20% of 860000

    = 0.2*860000

    Expected Cash Sale = 172000

    Remaining 80% of Sales would be on account as:

    = 80% of 860000

    = 0.8 * 860000

    = 688000

    Out of this 80% sales, 75% are expected to be collected in the month of sale, that is:

    = 75% of 688000

    = 0.75*688000

    = 516000

    So the January cash collections would be:

    Account Receivables for Jan + Expected Sales on Cash + Cash received from account on the same month of sale:

    Total Cash Received in the month of Jan:

    = 296000+172000+516000

    = $984000
