To calculate the estimated cash collections for December, consider the collections from sales made in October, November, and December. For December: - 50% of December sales (cash and credit): 0.5 * (135,000 + 190,000) = $162,500 - 40% of November credit sales: 0.4 * 210,000 = $84,000 - 10% of October credit sales: 0.1 * 180,000 = $18,000 Total estimated cash collections for December = $162,500 + $84,000 + $18,000 = $264,500.
