Total Cash = $296,225

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

September = $235,000

October = $314,000

The company expects to sell 25% of its merchandise for cash.

Of sales on account, 70% are expected to be collected in the month of the sale and 30% in the month following the sale.

Cash collection for October:

Sales in cash = (314,000*0.25) = 78,500

Sales in account:

From September = (235,000*0.75) * 0.3 = 52,875

From October = (314,000*0.75) * 0.70 = 164,850

Total Cash = $296,225
