(Part -a) The following is a bank reconciliation statement prepared by Sun Inc:
- Overdraft per bank statement 40,000/-
- Add: deposits not credited 45,000/-
- = 85,000/-
- Less: outstanding cheques 6,000/-
- Overdraft per cash book 79,000/-
Answer:
Bank Reconciliation: Let’s calculate the cash book balance based on the given bank reconciliation statement:
- Bank Statement Ending Balance: Rs. 40,000
- Deposits Not Credited: Rs. 45,000
- Outstanding Cheques: Rs. 6,000
-
Adjusted Bank Cash Balance:
- Add deposits in transit: Rs. 45,000 (since they are not yet recorded on the bank statement).
- Deduct outstanding checks: Rs. 6,000.
- Adjusted bank balance = Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 45,000 – Rs. 6,000 = Rs. 79,000.
(Part -b) Assuming the bank statement balance of Rs.40,000 to be correct, what should the cash book balance be?
- (a) Rs.79,000/-
- (b) Rs. 6,000/-
- (c) Rs. 1,000/- over drawn.
- (d) Rs. 6.000/- cash at bank
Answer:
-
Adjusted Company Cash Balance:
- Use the company’s ending cash balance: Rs. 79,000.
- No interest earned or bank fees mentioned.
- Adjusted company balance = Rs. 79,000.
Since the adjusted bank balance matches the adjusted company cash balance, the correct answer is (a) Rs. 79,000/-12.
