The journal entry required to update the cash balance would be to debit Accounts Receivable - M.Hicks and credit Cash. This is because the check was returned due to insufficient funds, meaning the payment was not received by the bank, resulting in the company's bank account not being credited with the $35 payment from Marla Hicks. Therefore, the Accounts Receivable balance must be reduced by $35, and the company's cash account must also be reduced by the same amount.
