Explanation:

Reconciling transactions identified;

ii) Total outstanding checks, $105 - This will be deducted from the bank balance

iii) Check of $100 returned because of not sufficient funds (NSF) - This is a check not honoured by the bank and as such the adjustment will be required in the books . No action is required for the bank.

Therefore, bank adjusted balance as at 31 December
