Answer 1

The cash balance per books for Jamison Company before adjustments is $10,565. It is found by adjusting the cash balance per bank of $13,000 with deposits in transit, note receivable collected by the bank, outstanding checks, bank service charges, and an NSF check.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the cash balance per books (before adjustments) for the Jamison Company, we need to use the reconciling information provided to adjust the cash balance per bank. We start with the cash balance per bank and make the necessary deductions and additions based on the reconciling items.

The cash balance per bank on 6/30 is $13,000. We need to add any deposits that are in transit since these have been recorded by the company but are not yet reflected in the bank balance. We also add any notes receivable collected by the bank as these increase the company's cash balance. On the other hand, we must subtract any outstanding checks, bank service charges, and NSF (non-sufficient funds) checks, as these will decrease the company's cash balance.

Thus, we calculate the cash balance per books as follows:

Cash balance per bank: $13,000

Add: Deposits-in-transit: $2,500

Add: Note receivable collected by bank: $4,000

Subtract: Outstanding checks: -$7,000

Subtract: Bank service charges: -$35

Subtract: NSF check: -$1,900

Therefore, the cash balance per books (before adjustments) is:

$13,000 + $2,500 + $4,000 - $7,000 - $35 - $1,900 = $10,565

Answer 2

c. $15,065

Step-by-step explanation:

In bank reconciliation the book balance is adjusted using some adjustments made by the the bank and still pending by the business. We make an adjusted balance of cash book balance and bank statement balance to reconcile the amounts.

Cash balance per book 6/30 $13,000

+ Note receivable $4,000

- Bank charges $35

- NSF check $1,900

Adjusted Cash book balance $15,065

Note receivable is received in the bank but not been recorded by the business. It will be added to the balance because it will increase the balance.

Bank charges are deducted by the bank but not been recorded by the business it will be deducted.

NSF check have already added by the balance but its not been cleared. So it needs to be deducted form the Book balance.
