Answer:

A .

Step-by-Step explanation

The calculation for the beginning balance of cash is shown below:

Cash disbursement = $115,375*80%

                               = $92,300

Ending cash balance = Beginning balance + cash collection - cash disbursement

$80,275 = Beginning balance + $115,375 - $92,300

Beginning balance = $80,275 - $23,075

                               = $57,200

Hence, the correct option is 'A'.
