Cevap

NGN 15,500\text{NGN } 15,500
Starting with a favourable (debit) adjusted cash book balance, unpresented cheques must be added to determine the bank statement balance because these cheques have reduced the cash book balance but have not yet been deducted from the bank account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the starting adjusted cash book balance.
Adjusted Cash Book debit balance = NGN 12,000\text{NGN } 12,000.
The reconciliation statement starts from the corrected cash book figure.
2
Add unpresented cheques to the adjusted cash book balance.
NGN 12,000+NGN 3,500=NGN 15,500\text{NGN } 12,000 + \text{NGN } 3,500 = \text{NGN } 15,500.
Unpresented cheques have been deducted in the cash book but not yet cleared by the bank, meaning the bank's record reflects a higher balance.
