Egrane, Inc.'s monthly bank statement showed the ending balance of cash of $20,400. The bank reconciliation for the period showed an adjustment for a deposit in transit of $2,450, outstanding checks of $3,900, a NSF check of $2,600, bank service charges of $125 and the EFT from a customer in payment of the customer's account of $3,400. What was the cash balance on the Egrane's books (before the adjustments for items on the bank reconciliation)?

Respuesta :

Answer: $18,275

Explanation:

From the information provided, the following can be deduced:

Ending balance of cash = $20,400

Add: Deposit in transit = $2450

Add: NSF Check = $2,600

Less: Outstanding checks = -$3900

Add: Bank service charges = $125

Less: EFT = -$3400

Cash balance on the Egrane's books will now be:

= $25,575 - $3900 - $3400

= $18,275
