Answer 1

$43,700

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest way to determine the balance of the cash account is to prepare the cash account and see the side with a shortfall well as the amount. A cash account accounts for only cash related transactions.

Marco`s Cash Account

Debit :

Capital $40,400

Cash Sales $4,900

Total $45,300

Credit :

Receptionist's salary $1,600

Balance c/d (missing amount) $43,700

Total $45,300

thus,

the balance of the cash account after these transactions is $43,700.
