Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The expected cash collections for November include 40% of November's sales and 60% of October's sales. November sales = 12,000 units * $84 = $1,008,000. October sales = 8,400 units * $84 = $705,600. 40% of November's sales = 0.40 * $1,008,000 = $403,200. 60% of October's sales = 0.60 * $705,600 = $423,360. Total expected cash collections for November = $403,200 + $423,360 = $826,560.
