    A
    Collections:<br/>1. April Cash Sales: $250,000 * 40% = $100,000<br/>2. April Credit Sales collected in April: ($250,000 * 60%) * 50% = $75,000<br/>3. March Credit Sales collected in April: ($200,000 * 60%) * 40% = $48,000<br/>Total Collections = $100k + $75k + $48k = $223,000<br/><br/>Disbursements:<br/>1. April Purchases paid in April: $150,000 * 70% = $105,000<br/>2. March Purchases paid in April: $120,000 * 30% = $36,000<br/>Total Disbursements = $105k + $36k = $141,000
