Answer:

Adjusted balance per bank reconciliation $ 24,295

Explanation:

Computation of adjusted balance per bank reconciliation

Balance per bank statement                                                   $ 25,750

Add: Deposits in transit                                                           $   2,300

Less: Outstanding checks                                                       $ (  3,755)

Adjusted balance per bank statement                                   $ 24,295

Balance per cash book                                                            $ 19,140

Less: Bank Service Charges                                                    $ (     45)

Add: Note collected by bank                                                   $ 5,200

Adjusted balance per cash book                                            $ 24,295

The deposits in transit and the outstanding checks have not been incorporated in the bank statement so adjusted  to the bank statement balance

The bank service charges and the direct collection by the bank of the note receivable have not been incorporated in the cash book hence adjusted.
