    Collections for July = $43200

    Explanation:

    Sales on cash are generally collected immediately, hence if the sale occurs in June, it would be collected in June itself. Sales on credit on the other hand, is where the debtor can pay for the goods or services on a later date. In this case, it is paid in the next month after the sale.

    According to the information cash collections are 60%. Hence in July, 60% of $52,000 would be obtained, which is - $52,000 x 60% = $31,200.

    At the same time, the sales on credit made in June would be collected in July. Since sales on credit amount to 40% of total sales of the month, it would be - $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.

    Total collections for July = $12,000 + $31,200 = $43,200.
