On October 31, 2015, the bank statement shows that your company has $12,956.73 in its checking account. You are aware of three outstanding checks for a total of $2,112.19. During October, 2015, the bank rejected two deposited checks from customers totaling $654.19 because of insufficient funds and charged you $12.00 in service fees. You had not yet received notice about the bad checks, but you were aware of and have recorded the $12.00 of service fees. Prior to adjustment on October 31, 2015, your Cash account would have a balance of:

A. $14,402.73.
B. $15,711.11.
C. $11,498.73.
D. $10,202.35.

C. $11,498.73.

Explanation:

Solving this question, we will have to make use of this formula:

The Adjusted Bank Balance = Unadjusted Balance as per Bank Statement as at Oct 31, 2015 - Checks Outstanding

= $12,956.73 - $2,112.19 = $10,844.54

Now,

Before the adjustment on the 31st of October, 2015,

The Cash account Balance = Adjusted Bank Balance + insufficient funds checks

= $10,844.54 - $654.19 = $11,498.73

Hence third option in the question is the correct answer.

$11,498.73

Explanation:

Deduct $2,112.19 outstanding checks from the bank statements balance of $12,956.73 and add $654.19 rejected checks.

Balance as per bank statement: $12,956.73

Less outstanding check: ($2,112.19)

Add Rejected checks: $654.19

Balance as per cash book: $11,498.73

**Note that $12.00 is ignored due to the fact that it had been recorded prior to adjustments and already included in the cashbook

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
