Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To find cash inflows from sales to customers, we need to subtract the change in accounts receivable from sales. Change in accounts receivable = Ending accounts receivable - Beginning accounts receivable = $100,000 - $75,000 = $25,000. Therefore, cash inflows from sales = Sales to customers - Change in accounts receivable = $300,000 - $25,000 = $275,000. So, the correct option is D.
