Don Ramos receives his bank statement for the month. It shows his balance is $470.99. In comparing his checkbook register, canceled checks, and bank statement, he finds that checks #786 and #789 are outstanding. The amounts are $52.50 and $65.00. What is Don’s adjusted balance?
$(52.50+65.00)= Outstanding total (checks that haven't cleared the bank)
Balance - Outstanding = Adjusted Balance
$470.99 - $(52.50 + 65.00)= $353.49
Answer: $ 353.99
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The balance in Don Ramos's account = $470.99
The amounts on outstanding check = $52.50 and $65.00
Then , the total outstanding amount = \(\$52.50+ \$65.00\)
To find Don’s adjusted balance we subtract the total outstanding amount from the balance in monthly bank statement.
Now, Don’s adjusted balance will be :-
\($470.99-\$117.00=\$353.99\)
Hence, Don’s adjusted balance = $ 353.99
