Bank record

Balance 8445

Outstanding check (3330)

Deposit in transit 1350

Balance 6465

Cash balance adjustment 6465

bank charge 30

Returned check 540

Answer 2

$6465

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjusted cash balance is the adjusted bank statement balance, which is the cash balance on bank statement, plus the total of the deposits in transit, less the total of the outstanding checks.

Given that:

Bank balance at June 30= $8445,

Outstanding checks = $3,330,

deposits in transit = $1,350,

bank service charge = $30.

Adjusted cash balance = Cash balance on bank statement + Deposits in transit - Outstanding checks

Therefore, Adjusted cash balance = $8445 + $1350 - $3330 = $6465
