Explanation:

Cash is an asset (a resources owned/controlled by an entity as a result of a past event, for which future benefits will be enjoyed by the company). As such, like other assets, cash normally has a debit balance.

The debits to cash represents the inflow of cash while the credit entries represents the outflows from the cash account.

Account balance = $5600 - $3200

= $2400

The debits are more than the credit hence net balance is a debit.
