Answer 1

Answer:The up-to-date ending cash balance on October 31 is: $8,290---C

Explanation:

A bank Reconciliation statement helps to match a company's book record to its bank record and adjust discrepancies, If any.

Here, the deposits in transit and outstanding checks fall under the bank's accounting records and will not be involved in the company's additions or deductions in the accounting book balance records.

Ending cash balance as per books = $7,000

Add:

Interest received from Bank =           +$1,700

subtotal                                                $8,700                    

Deduct

Bank Service charge =                        -$60

NSF check =                                        -$350

Up-to-date ending cash balance =     $8,290
