Katrina Novak · Answer 1

The adjusted book balance is $4,505

Explanation:

For computing the adjusted book balance, various adjustments are required which is shown below:

= Cash account ending balance + bookkeeper error - service charge + interest revenue

= $4,400 + $100 - $25 + $30

= $4,505

The outstanding checks and the deposit in transit are not considered in the computation part. Thus, these are ignored

Hence, the adjusted book balance is $4,505
