Answer to Problem 1MCQ

The correct answer is option (a).

Explanation of Solution

Bank reconciliation: Bank statement is prepared by bank. The company maintains its own records from its perspective. This is why the cash balance per bank and cash balance per books seldom agree. Bank reconciliation is the statement prepared by company to remove the differences and disagreement between cash balance per bank and cash balance per books.

Justification for correct answer: Note receivable being collected by bank, is credited to bank account. But the company is not aware of it. So, while preparing bank reconciliation statement, company should add the amount to the cash balance per books. In the given case, bank collected $335 note and credited to the customer’s account, after deducting the collection charges of $15. So, bank would credit the difference of $320 ($335$15) to the customer account, and the same would be added to the book balance. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Conclusion

Hence, options (b), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect, and the option (a) is the correct answer.
