Answer 1

Answer:

The adjusted cash balance at April 30, 2018 is $78,400

Explanation:

The computation of the adjusted cash balance is shown below:

= Balance per bank statement + Deposits in transit - Outstanding checks

= $79,000 + $10,200 - $10,800

= $78,400

We simply added the deposit in transit and deducted the outstanding checks to the balance as per bank statement.
