Emanuel Farmer · Answer 1

The amount of cash that should be reported in the balance sheet as of August 31 is $20,410

Explanation:

The computation of the cash amount which is reported in the balance sheet is shown below:

= Cash balance + Note collected by the bank for the Colt Company - NSF check - bank service fees

= $19,200 + $1,600 - $150 - $240

= $20,410

The other two items which are given in the question are related to the bank balance. So, we do not consider it while computing the correct cash balance.
