Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To calculate cash collections from customers, we start with credit sales and adjust for the change in accounts receivable. The formula is: Cash Collections = Credit Sales - Increase in Accounts Receivable. Here, the increase in Accounts Receivable is $160,000 (ending) - $70,000 (beginning) = $90,000. So, Cash Collections = $600,000 - $90,000 = $510,000.
