    c. $4,025,200

    Explanation:

    The computation of the total cash receipts from sales and collections in April month is shown below:

    = April sales * cash sales percentage + April sales * credit sales percentage * collection month percentage + March sales credit sales percentage * Following month collection percentage

    = $4,000,000 * 30% + $4,000,000 * 70% * 40% + $4,200,000 * 70% * 58%

    = $1,200,000 + $1,120,000 + $1,705,200

    = $4,025,200

    Since cash sales are 30%, so the credit sales would be 70%
