Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Cash payments for rent

= Rent expense + Ending prepaid rent - Beginning prepaid rent

= $48,990 + $9,100 - $5,710

= $52,380

2. Cash payments for salaries

= Salary expense + Beginning salaries payable - Ending salaries payable

= $54,240 + $10,720 - $8,960

= $56,000

3. Cash receipts from customers

= Sales revenue + Beginning accounts receivable - Ending account receivable

= $169,980 + $16,160 - $6,950

= $179,190
