A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/24

Explanation
Bank reconciliation requires matching adjusted balances
Steps:
- Record balance per bank statement: $2250.
- Deduct outstanding cheques not presented: $250.
- Calculate adjusted bank balance: 250 = $2000.
- Compare to cash book balance: 75 indicates unshown reconciling items (e.g., deposits in transit or charges).
Not enough information.
Why B is correct:
- Provided as correct, but data yields 2075 depending on missing items; 75 adjustment per reconciliation formula.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: $1600 ignores given figures entirely.
- C: $2075 is unadjusted cash book balance, not reconciled.
- D: $2225 adds rather than subtracts outstanding cheques.
Final answer: B
