Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To calculate the receipts from customers, we need to subtract cash sales from the total sales revenue, then add the change in accounts receivable.
Total credit sales = Total sales revenue - Cash sales
Total credit sales = $600,000 - $50,000
Total credit sales = $550,000
Receipts from customers = Total credit sales + (Ending AR - Beginning AR)
Receipts from customers = $550,000 + ($220,000 - $200,000)
Receipts from customers = $550,000 + $20,000
Receipts from customers = $570,000
However, the question asks for the receipts from customers, not including cash sales. Therefore, we need to subtract the cash sales from the calculated amount.
Receipts from customers (excluding cash sales) = $570,000 - $50,000
Receipts from customers (excluding cash sales) = $520,000
But the question provides answer choices that are different from this calculated amount, so we need to check the options based on the calculations.
Option D is closest to our calculated amount of $520,000. Therefore, the best choice is D.
