Ending Balance is $7,000

Explanation:

Only Cash related purchases and receipts are posted to Cash Account. Thus ignore non-cash related transactions.

The Cash Account : Receipts are posted at the Debit side of this Account and Payments at the Credit Side.

The Balance : After determining the Totals of the Debit and Credit, the shortfall of any of that side represents the Balance.
