C

Explanation:

Here, we are asked to calculate the ending balance in the accounts receivable account at the end of January.

To calculate this, we employ a mathematical approach;

Mathematically;

The closing balance in account receivables = opening balance + services performed on account - cash received during month

From the question, we identify the following;

The opening balance in accounts receivable = $180,000

Services performed on account = $700,000

cash received = $230,000

we input these values into the equation;

Closing balance = 180,000 + 700,000 - 230,000 = $650,000
