What amount will Logistics include in its year-end balance sheet as cash and cash equivalents

Answer 1

Answer:

$317,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Opening Balance in Checking Account = $352,000

Restricted Balance = $50,000

Treasury bill = $15,000

Cash and Cash Equivalent at Year End:

= Opening Balance in Checking Account - Restricted Balance + Treasury bill amount

= $352,000 - $50,000 + $15,000

= $317,000

Therefore, the amount will Logistics include in its year-end balance sheet as cash and cash equivalents is $317,000.
