    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    cost of goods sold = $1,760,000

    Beginning Inventory = $92,000

    Ending Inventory = $140,000

    Beginning Accounts payable = $48,000

    Ending Accounts payable = $56,000

    Total Purchase:

    = Cost of Goods sold + Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory

    = $1,760,000 + $140,000 - $92,000

    = $1,808,000

    Cash paid for merchandise purchased:

    = Total Purchase + Beginning Accounts payable - Ending Accounts payable

    = $1,808,000 + $48,000 - $56,000

    = $1,800,000
