    Cash payment for merchandise inventory is $1,025,800.00

    Cash payment for operating expenses is $179,170.00

    Explanation:

    The amount of cash payments in respect of merchandise inventory is the cost of merchandise sold minus decrease in inventories plus decrease in accounts payable.

    Cash paid for merchandise inventory=$1,031,550 - ($193,430-$178,020) + ($105,800-$96,140) = $1,025,800.00

    Cash paid for operating expenses=$179,400 + ($14,030-$12,650) - ($8,970-$7,360) = $ 179,170.00
