You have a go!

I answered your other question and gave you
The technique as how to solve these problems.

It is very helpful if you have EXCEL to help you.
It takes time to do these problems and
Time costs MONEY!
May be an acknowledgement of the first question (answered) would also be nice.

Where to start is to make yourself 8 columns for all those sales. Then follow through each statement one at a time and read it carefully and see what they are saying.

What's it say first? That 40% of sales have been on a cash basis. So start there. If 40% is cash, what happened to the other 60%? Figure out those numbers on each month. That gets you started.

Go to the next thing it says and read that carefully. Figure out the amounts it's talking about. You have to just go through each sentence one at a time like this.

You have to make an attempt at doing your own work since we're not here to do it for you. This is a big problem and has lots of steps. Giving you a hint of how to get started, or a hint on one section, isn't really going to help with the rest of it. You have to go through these carefully & think about what they are saying.

See if you can at least get the thing started. Get done of it what you can. Not everything has to be done in the order given, so skip something if you have to and do another part.

And personally, I think setting it up in Excel is useful if you have to do it on a continual basis, but probably will take longer for just one problem. And if you can't do it manually, you won't know how to set it up on Excel. I really don't see how that would help.
