Answer 1

Answer: $18,460

Explanation:

Amounts that will go towards the cash account at the end of the year include all actual cash, undeposited checks, bank balances and short term investments.

The Total amount of cash to report will therefore be;

= Currency located at the company + Short-term investments that mature within three months + Balance in savings account + Checks received from customers but not yet deposited + Coins located at the company + Balance in checking account

= 1,050+ 1,950 + 8,500 + 650 + 110 + 6,200

= $18,460
