Answer 1

Answer:

$470

Explanation:

Given that

Ending balance of cash = $650

Service charge = $29

NSF check = $150

Deposit in transit = $240

Outstanding checks = $420

The computation of the adjusted cash balance is shown below:

= Ending balance of cash account + deposit in transit - outstanding checks

= $650 + $240 - $420

= $470
