    The collections in September from accounts receivable will be d. $134400

    Explanation:

    First we need to determine the amount of credit sales for the month of September.

    Credit sales = total sales - cash sales

    Credit sales - September = 240000 - (240000 * 0.2) = 192000

    The credit sales for september will be $192000.

    The question states that 70% of credit sales will be collected in the month of sale. So, September's collection from accounts receivables will be:

    Collection - September = 192000 * 0.7 = 134400
