Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
To calculate the balance in the cash account at the end of January, we start with the initial cash investment of $13,500. Then, we add cash received for services ($5,700) and subtract cash payments for insurance ($2,100), rent ($1,500), part of the office equipment ($3,100), and utilities ($275). The contribution of photography equipment does not affect the cash balance. The services provided on account do not immediately impact cash. Therefore, the calculation is $13,500 + $5,700 - $2,100 - $1,500 - $3,100 - $275 = $12,225.
