The adjusted cash balance per the bank records should be: Multiple Choice $31,580 $31,535 $34,487 $31,625 $24,325

Answer 1

Answer: $31,625

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the adjusted cash balance per the bank records we will do the following,

First we'll add the deposits in transfer as the bank account already has those,

= 29,361 + 3,650

= $33,011

The bank incorrectly increased a check issued to $94 from $49 so we add the difference to above amount

= 33,011 + (94 - 49)

= $33,056

Then finally we subtract the outstanding checks.

= 33,056 - 1,431

= $31,625

The adjusted cash balance per the bank records should be $31,625.
