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'.
