Explanation
Adjusting Cash Book for Errors and Unrecorded Bank Items Steps:
- Start with the given debit balance in the bank column: $1090.
- Correct the recording error in purchases payment: actual 990, so add back the 1090 + 1100).
- Add the unrecorded interest received from the bank statement: 120 = $1220.
- Subtract the unrecorded bank charges from the bank statement: 76 = $1094.
Why D is correct:
- The adjusted cash book balance uses the formula: initial balance + error correction + credits from statement - debits from statement, yielding $1094 as the true debit balance.
Why the others are wrong:
- A ignores interest received and error correction, only subtracting charges (76 + $40? incorrect net).
- B subtracts charges but mishandles interest and error (76 + 68? wrong signs).
- C forgets error correction and underadds interest net (120 - 69? miscalculation).
Final answer: D
