Answer 1

A. $3,560

B. $3,430

C. $4,120

D. $3,730

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Calculation for the deposits in transit at July 31

July 1 Deposit in transit=$18,550 - ($15,720 - $730)

July 1 Deposit in transit=$18,550-$14,990

July 1 Deposit in transit= $3,560

Therefore ​the deposits in transit at July 31 were $3,560

B. Calculation for the outstanding checks at July 31

July 31 Outstanding checks=$18,540 - ($16,020 - $910)

July 31 Outstanding checks=$18,540-$15,110

July 31 Outstanding checks= $3,430

Therefore the outstanding checks at July 31 were $3,430

C. Calculation for the deposits in transit at August 31

August 31 Deposits in transit=$27,280 - $26,010 + $2,850

August 31 Deposits in transit= $4,120

Therefore the deposits in transit at August 31 were $4,120

D. Calculation for the outstanding checks at August 31

August 31 Outstanding checks=$24,460 - $23,110 + $2,380

August 31 Outstanding checks= $3,730

Therefore the outstanding checks at August 31 were $3,730
