Answer:

The LaGrange Corporation

The total cash collected during January by LaGrange Corporation would be $237,000.

Explanation:

January Collections:

1. January cash sales = $80,000

2. 45% January sales = $81,000

3. 50% December sales = $50,000 *

4. 5% November sales = $26,000

Total = $237,000

* Uncollected December sales = $55,000.  This represents 55% (50% collectible in January and 5% collectible in February).  Therefore January collection will be equal to $55,000/55 * 50 = $50,000.
