Answer 1

$27,900

Explanation:

The computation of adjusted cash balance is shown below:-

Adjusted cash balance = Balance at May 31 - bank service fees - NSF check

= $28,525 - $25 - $600

= $27,900

Therefore for computing the adjusted cash balance we simply deduct the bank service fee and NSF check from balance at may 31

Hence, the adjusted cash balance is $27,900
