What was the unadjusted book balance at October 31?

Answer 1

$5,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the cash balance per books and we are told to determine the cash balance per bank. The following formula is used to calculate the cash balance per book:

cash balance per books = cash balance per bank + notes receivable collected by bank - bank service charge - NSF check

$5,710 = cash balance per bank + $1,000 - $90 - $600

cash balance per bank = $5,710 + $90 + $600 - $1,000 = $5,400
