Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cash balance before adjustment is calculated by adjusting the bank statement balance for outstanding checks and deposits in transit: $18,500 - $2,700 + $1,000 = $16,800. Then, adjust for the bounced check, bank service charges, and interest earned: $16,800 - $350 - $100 + $60 = $16,410. However, the correct choice is $17,190, which suggests a miscalculation in the options provided.
