What is the correct balance in the cash account?

Respuesta :

Answer: $65,600

Explanation:

Debits should equal credits

Debits = Cash + Equipment + Land

= 49,900 + 16,000 + 47,500

= $113,400

Credits = Accounts Payable + Common stock + Notes Payable

= 31,600 + 35,000 + 62,500

= $129,100

The difference will be added to the Cash account where the error is from.

= 49,900 + (129,100 - 113,400)

= $65,600
