A) $704,000.

Explanation:

For computing the cash payments we need to calculate the following amounts which are as follows

Total purchases = cost of goods sold + ending inventory - opening inventory

= $720,000 + $188,000 - $200,000

= $708,000

Now cash payment to merchandise is

= Beginning account payable balance + purchased made - ending account payable balance

= $80,000 + $708,000 - $84,000

= $704,000

Hence, the correct option is A. $704,000
