Answer 1

Answer:

$7,999.54

Explanation:

The bank reconciliation is one done between the balance per the books and balance per the bank statement. This is usually as a result of transactions known as reconciling items.

These are items that have either been recognized in books but yet to be recorded by the bank or vice versa, transactions recorded wrongly by one of the parties etc.

To correctly adjust the book balance, items recognized in the bank statement that are yet to be recorded in the books are done.

The adjusted balance

= $5,559.10 + $499.88 + $1,256.45 + $750.99 - $66.88

= $7,999.54
