The amount of the July collections is e - $192,626

Explanation:

The amount of the July collections = 52% sales in the month of July + 46% sales in the month of June + 2% sales in the month of May

Lumber Yard has projected sales for May of $161,800, June of $189,700, and July of $196,400

The amount of the July collections = 52% x $196,400 + 46% x $189,700 + 2% x $161,800 = $102,128 + $87,262 + $3,236 = $192,626
