Clayborn's May bank statement shows $25,000 on deposit in the bank. Determine the adjusted cash balance using the following information: Deposit in transit $ 8,650 Outstanding checks $ 6,900 Bank service fees, not yet recorded by company $ 140 A NSF check from a customer, not yet recorded by the company $ 1,635 The adjusted cash balance should be:

Answer 1

$26,750

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the adjusted cash balance is shown below;

= Debit balance in the cash account - bank service fees - NSF check from a customer

= $28,525 - $140 - $1,635

= $26,750

The other items would be relevant to the bank balance and therefore it should not be considered in the given case

Hence, the adjusted cash balance is $26,750
