Answer 1

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Cash account:

Debit amount of cash account = $1,400

Credit amount of cash account = $800

Therefore, overall cash balance is calculated as the difference between the debit amount and the credit amount.

Overall cash balance = Debit amount - Credit amount

                                    = $1,400 - $800

                                    = $600(Debit Balance)

Therefore, the cash account has a debit balance of $600.
