Respuesta :

Answer:

B) $5,300

Explanation:

The computation of cash balance is shown below:-

True cash balance =  Unadjusted bank balance + Deposit in transit + Error in check - Outstanding checks

= $7,800 + $3,150 + $550 - $6,200

= $11,500 - $6,200

= $5,300

Therefore for computing the true cash balance we simply applied the above formula and not considered all other amount as they are not relevant.
