Answer 1

Answer: $19037

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Balance per Bank statement = $18361

Add: Deposits in Transit = $1450

Add: Bank error = $63

Less: Outstanding check = $837

Adjusted cash Balance per Bank:

= ($18361 + $1450 + $63) - $837

= $19874 - $837

= $19037

The adjusted cash balance per the bank records should be $19037.

N.B: The bank error was gotten as the difference between $92 and $29. $92 - $29 = $63
