Answer: D. $40,175

Explanation:

The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.

The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.

Revenue

$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.

Revenue is therefore,

= 5,700 + 2,750

= $8,450

Expenses

Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.

= 1,500 + 275

= $1,775

Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775

Net Income = $6,675

The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.

The Capital therefore is,

- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.

The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,

= 13,500 + 20,000

= $33,500

The balance on the capital account will therefore be,

= Capital + Net Income

= 33,500 + 6,675

= $40,175

Option D. is correct.
