Q.5

(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
  1. 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: 

  1. 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.
