Select one: A. $22,200. B. $20,700. C. $18,700. D. $17,200.

Answer 1

The answer is: B) $20,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Colt Company has to record all the deposits in transit and all the checks outstanding. Deposits in transit increase the cash account while checks outstanding will decrease the cash account.

Cash account = $23,200 (Colt Company's bank statement) - $4,300 (checks outstanding) + $1,800 (deposits outstanding) = $20,700
