Question

At August 31, 2022, Carla Vista Company has this bank information: cash balance per bank $10,690; outstanding checks $840; deposits in transit $1,800; and a bank service charge $30. Determine the adjusted cash balance per bank at August 31, 2022.

Answer 1

Answer:

$11,650

Explanation:

The adjusted cash balance per bank at August 31 2022 is calculated as;

= Cash balance per bank - Outstanding checks + Deposits in transits

Given that;

Cash balance per bank = $10,690

Outstanding checks = $840

Deposits in transits = $1,800

= $10,690 - $840 + $1,800

= $11,650

Therefore the adjusted cash balance per bank is $11,650. It means that the cash balance per bank statement has to be adjusted to accommodate outstanding checks and deposits in transit. For outstanding checks , they are checks that have not yet been found on the bank statement , while deposits in transit are those deposits, that have not yet been found or appear on the bank statement.
