Answer 1

Answer:

Option (3) $1,245

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

General ledger checking account  balance = $1,360

Bank balance on bank statement = $1445

Deposits in transit = $150

Outstanding checks = $350

Bank statement service charges = $30

NSF checks = $85

Now,

The Correct cash balance will be

                  Bank balance on bank statement              $1,445

Add :          Back deposits in transit                               $150

Subtract :  Outstanding checks                                     $350

Correct balance                                                             $1,245

Hence,

Option (3) $1,245
