    Cash paid 168,000

    Explanation:

    Assuming that there were no inventory at start of the year

    purchases during the year:

    Sold = 155

    Closing inventory = 21

    Total purchase (155+21) = 176

    Cash paid for merchandise = total purchase - increase in liability

    Cash paid = 176-8 = 168
