A.$20,200
B.$16,700
C.$23,400
D.$15,700

Answer 1

Answer:

A.$20,200

Explanation:

The computation of the cash amount which is to be reported is shown below:

= August bank statement balance - checks outstanding + deposit outstanding  

= $22,400 - $4,500 + $2,300

= $20,200

The other items like NSF check, Note collected by the bank for the Colt Company, and Bank service fees are irrelevant. Hence, these are ignored and not be considered in the computation part
