Answer :

Based on the calculation below,  the ending debit balance in the Cash account is $14,500.

How do we calculate the Cash account ending balance?

The ending balance in the Cash account can be calculated using the following formula:

Ending balance = Beginning-of-the-period cash balance + Cash sales for the month - Current-period purchases - Amounts due from last month .......... (1)

Substituting all the relevant into equation (1), we have:

Ending balance = $12,000 + $8,000 - $2,500 - $3,000

Ending balance = $14,500

Since the $14,500 is positive, this implies that the ending can balance is debit.

Note that sales on the account is not cash transaction and that is it is not included in the calculation.
