Answer: $12,975

Explanation: To find the balance in the cash account at the end of January, we need to consider all cash inflows and outflows. This involves adding any cash received and subtracting any cash paid out.

Steps:

  1. Initial Cash Investment:
  • Andrea invested $13,500 cash.
  • Cash inflow: $13,500
  1. Cash Received for Services:
  • The company received $5,700 for services.
  • Cash inflow: $5,700
  1. Cash Paid for Insurance:
  • The company paid $2,100 for an insurance policy.
  • Cash outflow: $2,100
  1. Cash Paid for Rent:
  • The company paid $1,500 for monthly rent.
  • Cash outflow: $1,500
  1. Cash Paid for Office Equipment:
  • The company paid $3,100 for office equipment.
  • Cash outflow: $3,100
  1. Cash Paid for Utilities:
  • Paid $275 for January utilities.
  • Cash outflow: $275
  1. Calculate the Net Cash Balance:

\[ \text{Net Cash Balance} = (\text{Initial Cash} + \text{Cash Received}) - \text{Cash Paid} \]

\[ = (13,500 + 5,700) - (2,100 + 1,500 + 3,100 + 275) \]

\[ = 19,200 - 6,975 \]

\[ = 12,225 \]

Therefore, the balance in the cash account at the end of January is $12,225.
