Answer 1

Answer:

$88,500

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of cash reported in the balance sheet is shown below:

= Check book balance + check not included - NSF check + coin & currency on hand

= $84,800 + $1,750 - $3,730 + $5,680

= $88,500

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct amount of cash could arrive that is to be reported in the balance sheet
