The adjusted cash balances should match

Cash balance as per the bank statement, January 31        1421.95

Add: Deposit in transit                                                           100.05

Deduct: Outstanding checks                                                  (196)

Adjusted cash balance                                                            1326

Balance as per depositor's record, January 31                    1202.5

Subtract: NSF check                                                                  (18)

Subtract: Service charges                                                         (8.5)

Add: receivable collected                                                          150

Adjusted cash balance                                                              1326

The reconciled amount is $1326.
