Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate adjusted cash balance from bank statement
We start with the balance per bank statement ($11,807), add deposits in transit ($4,580) and subtract outstanding checks ($5,157). $11807 + 4580-5157$
Step2: Calculate adjusted cash balance from company records
We start with the cash balance per company records. First, find the cash balance per company records: $7641+106780 - 102341=12080$. Then we subtract bank service charge ($50) and debit memo ($800). $12080-50 - 800$
Answer:
Bank Reconciliation - February 28
Cash balance from bank statement: $11,807 Add: Deposits in transit: $4,580 Less: Outstanding checks: $5,157 Adjusted cash balance: $11230
Cash balance from company records: $12,080 Less: Bank service charge: $50 Less: Debit memo: $800 Adjusted cash balance: $11230
