Step-by-step explanation:

The cash balance per books for Clark Company can be calculated using the provided reconciling information from the September bank reconciliation.

• 
  
• Cash balance per bank, 9/30: $46,200
• 
  
• Plus: Deposits in transit: $18,900
• 
  
• Less: Outstanding checks: $37,800
• 
  
• Plus: Note receivable collected by bank: $25,200
• 
  
• Less: Bank service charges: $315
• 
  
• Less: NSF check: $5,040

Using the above reconciliation items, the cash balance per books can be calculated as follows:

Cash balance per bank = $46,200

+ Deposits in transit = $18,900

- Outstanding checks = ($37,800)

+ Note receivable collected by bank = $25,200

- Bank service charges = ($315)

- NSF check = ($5,040)
