cash receipt for the customers is calculated as under:

cash receipt for customer = Revenue+Account Receivable in Begining-Account Receviable in ending

                                       = 2,65,000+14,500-17,800

                                       = 2,61,700

Purchases = cost of Revenue from oparation-opening inventory+closing inventory

                 = 2,10,000-23,500+17,800

                = 204300

cash payable to the supplier = Purchases+account payable in the beingining -account payable in the ending

                                          = 204300+6000-13500

                                          = 196800

cash paid for operating expense = operating expense+ acccured liabilties in beginging + accrued liabilities in ending

                                                = 31,000+4000-1500

                                                = 33500
