Mahogany Billiards sells upscale pool tables and related supplies. It sells a premium package consisting of a pool table imported from Europe, a full set of cues and balls, and on-site installation by its staff.

The entire package is sold at $4,500. Mahogany does not offer on-site installation separately, as part of company policy. It also estimates that it incurs about $350 of compensation and other costs per each installation. Other competing vendors sell on-site installation separately for $450, on average.

Lake Power Sports sells jet skis and other powered recreational equipment. Customers pay one-third of the sales price of a jet ski when they initially purchase the ski, and then pay another one-third each year for the next two years. Because Lake has little information about the ability to collect these receivables, it uses the installment sales method for revenue recognition. In 2017, Lake began operations and sold jet skis with a total price of $900,000 that cost Lake $450,000. Lake collected $300,000 in 2017, $300,000 in 2018, and $300,000 in 2019 associated with those sales. In 2018, Lake sold jet skis with a total price of $1,500,000 that cost Lake $900,000. Lake collected $500,000 in 2018, $400,000 in 2019, and $400,000 in 2020 associated with those sales. In 2020, Lake also repossessed $200,000 of jet skis that were sold in 2018. Those jet skis had a fair value of $75,000 at the time they were repossessed. - Total cash collections on installment sales during 2018 would be:


A) $700,000.
B) $300,000.
C) $800,000.
