To find the adjusted cash balance, we need to make adjustments for any outstanding checks and deposits in transit.
- First, we need to compare the ending balance on the bank statement to the ending balance in the company's Cash account. We see that they don't match ($58,349 vs $60,209), indicating that there are some outstanding checks or deposits in transit.
- Next, we look at the details provided in the image. We see that there are two outstanding checks totaling $3,020 and one deposit in transit of $1,895. To adjust the cash balance, we need to subtract the outstanding checks and add the deposit in transit:
    Starting balance (per company's records): $60,209
    Add: Deposit in transit: $1,895
    Adjusted balance (before adjusting for outstanding checks): $62,104
    Subtract: Outstanding checks: $3,880 ($2,620 + $1,260)
    Adjusted cash balance: $58,224
    
Therefore, the correct option is C) $60,224.
