Answer: $54,000

Explanation:

Referring to the data regarding store operation given above, difference between cash receipt and cash disbursement for December could be calculated as follows;

December Cash receipt = (340,000*20%+320,000*80%) = 324,000

November Purchases = (340,000 × 75%)+(320,000 × 75% × 60%) - 153,000 = 246,000

December Cash payment = 246,000 +240,000 = 270,000

The difference between cash receipts and cash disbursement for December = 324,000 - 270,000 = 54,000
