Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Solution according to given question:

Cash receipts of $10,000

Cash disbursements of $7,700

Cash balance on February 28 $2,400

Ending cash balance = Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements

$2,400 = Beginning cash balance + $10,000 - $7,700

$2,400 = Beginning cash balance + $2,300

Beginning cash balance = $2,400 - $2300

Beginning cash balance = $100
