Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of $ 2,540 is the checks that were outstanding on November 30.

Explanation:

The amount of the outstanding checks will be shown as:

Amount of outstanding checks = Checks wrote in October + Checks wrote in November - Checks cleared in October - Checks cleared in November

where

Checks wrote in October amounts to $34,160

Checks wrote in November amounts to $37,300

Checks cleared in October amounts to $32,480

Checks cleared in November amounts to $36,440

Putting the values above:

Amount of outstanding checks = $34,160 + $37,300 - $32,480 - $36,440

= $71,460 - $68,920

= $2,540
