    The correct answer is E that is $74,520

    Explanation:

    The expected cash receipts for January from the current and past sales is computed as:

    Cash sales for January = Budgeted sales * 20% cash collected

    = $51,000 * 20%

    = $10,200

    Credit Sales is computed as:

    For November is $13,000

    For December = December Sales / 60 * 50

    = $42,000 / 60 * 50

    = $35,000

    For January = Budgeted Sales * 80 % * 40%

    = $51,000 * 80% * 40%

    = $16,320

    Total January Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales

    = $10,200 + $13,000 + $35,000 + $16,320

    = $74,520
