Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The current Average Collection Period (ACP) is calculated as (Accounts Receivable / Sales) * 360 = ($1M / $18M) * 360 = 20 days. To reduce ACP by 2 days, the new ACP will be 18 days. The projected accounts receivable balance is calculated as (New ACP / 360) * Projected Sales = (18 / 360) * $24M = $1.2M.
