The amount of cash received is $2940

Explanation:

The cash received by Syfy on July 24 will be for the amount due after accounting for sales return by Eureka and after deducting the sales discount / discount allowed.

The balance in accounts receivable account of Syfy after sales return by Eureka on July 20 will be, 5000 - 2000 = $3000

The payments terms allow a 2% discount if payment is made within 10 days of purchases. Eureka paid within the discount period thus it availed a discount of,

3000 * 0.02 = $60

The amount of cash received by Syfy is = 3000 - 60 = $2940
