Respuesta :

Answer:

d. A $4,700 debit balance.

Explanation:

Note that the cash account is an asset account that a debit increases and a  credit reduce it, hence, the  balance at the beginning of May would be increased by debit entry and decreased as a result of the credit entry as shown thus:

closing balance=beginning balance+debit-credit

closing balance=$5,400

beginning balance=unknown

debit=$12,600

credit=$11,900

$5400=X+$12,600-$11,900

X=$5,400-$12,600+$11,900

X=$4,700(debit)
