The cash book showed an overdraft of Rs. 1,500, but the pass book made up to the same date showed that cheques of Rs. 100,Rs. 50 and Rs. 125 respectively had not been presented for payments; and the cheque of Rs.400 paid into account had not been cleared. The balance as per the cash book will be
- A.
Rs. 1,100
- B.
Rs. 2,175
- C.
Rs. 1,625
- D.
Rs. 1,375
Correct Answer
C. Rs. 1,625Explanation
The cash book shows an overdraft of Rs. 1,500, but the pass book reveals that certain cheques have not been presented for payment and a cheque paid into the account has not been cleared. Therefore, the balance as per the cash book needs to be adjusted to account for these transactions. The total amount of the uncleared cheques is Rs. 275 (Rs. 100 + Rs. 50 + Rs. 125), and the uncleared cheque paid into the account is Rs. 400. Subtracting these amounts from the overdraft of Rs. 1,500, the adjusted balance as per the cash book will be Rs. 1,625.Rate this question:

- D.
1,650
Correct Answer
D. 1,650Explanation
The correct answer is 1,650. The balance as per the cash book is Rs. 1,500. Cheques deposited but not cleared amount to Rs. 100, which should be added to the cash book balance. Cheques issued but not presented amount to Rs. 150, which should be deducted from the cash book balance. The bank allowed interest amounting to Rs. 50 and collected dividend of Rs. 50 on behalf of ABC Enterprises, which should be added to the cash book balance. Therefore, the balance as per the pass book should be Rs. 1,500 + Rs. 100 - Rs. 150 + Rs. 50 + Rs. 50 = Rs. 1,650.Rate this question:

Balance as per cash book is Rs.5,000. Cheques issued but not presented for payment Rs.2,000 and cheques sent for collection but not collected Rs.1,500. The Bank had wrongly debited the account of firm by Rs.20 .Balance as per pass book will be
- A.
Rs.5,500
- B.
Rs.1,520
- C.
Rs.5,700
- D.
Rs.8,300
Correct Answer
B. Rs.1,520Explanation
To find the balance as per the passbook, we need to adjust the balance as per the cash book for outstanding checks and bank errors.
Given: Balance as per cash book = Rs. 5,000 Cheques issued but not presented for payment = Rs. 2,000 Cheques sent for collection but not collected = Rs. 1,500 Bank error (wrong debit) = Rs. 20
Adjusted balance as per cash book: = Balance as per cash book - Outstanding checks + Bank error = Rs. 5,000 - Rs. 2,000 - Rs. 1,500 + Rs. 20 = Rs. 5,000 - Rs. 3,500 + Rs. 20 = Rs. 1,520

- A.
Increasing the bank balance by Rs.90
- B.
Decreasing the bank balance by Rs.90
- C.
Increasing the bank balance by Rs.180
- D.
Decreasing the bank balance by Rs.180
Correct Answer
A. Increasing the bank balance by Rs.90Explanation
The correct answer is "Increasing the bank balance by Rs.90" because if a purchase of Rs. 1,870 by cheques has been wrongly posted in the cashbook as Rs. 1,780, it means that the cashbook is showing less expenditure than the actual amount. This discrepancy results in an increase in the bank balance by the difference between the two amounts, which is Rs. 90.Rate this question:

When preparing a bank reconciliation statement, deposits made by customers that have not yet been recorded in the cashbook need to be added.

- B.
Rs.10,000
- C.
Rs.11,000
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Rs.9,000Explanation
To reconcile the balance as shown by the cash book with the balance as shown by the bank pass book, we need to consider the following adjustments:
Deduct the amount of cheques issued but not presented for payment from the balance as per the cash book.
Add the amount of cheques deposited but not yet collected to the balance as per the cash book.
Let's calculate:
Balance as per cash book = Rs. 10,000 Cheques issued but not presented for payment = Rs. 4,000 Cheque deposited but not yet collected = Rs. 3,000
Adjusted cash book balance = Rs. (10,000 - 4,000 + 3,000) = Rs. 9,000
Now, to find the balance as shown by the bank pass book, we need to reconcile the adjusted cash book balance with the balance as shown by the bank pass book. Since there are no other adjustments mentioned, the balance as shown by the bank pass book will be the same as the adjusted cash book balance.
Therefore, the balance as shown by the bank pass book will be Rs. 9,000.Rate this question:

- A.
Adjusted cash book.
- B.
Cash book before any adjustments.
- C.
Pass book.
- D.
Not taken to final accounts in case of difference in the balance
Correct Answer
A. Adjusted cash book.Explanation
The correct answer is adjusted cash book. When there is a difference between the bank balance as per the cashbook and the current account statement, adjustments need to be made to the cashbook to reconcile the difference. The adjusted cashbook reflects the corrected balance after taking into account any errors or omissions. This adjusted balance is then considered for finalizing the accounts. The pass book is the bank statement provided by the bank, and it is used to compare and reconcile with the cashbook. If there is a difference in the balance, it needs to be resolved and adjusted in the cashbook before finalizing the accounts.Rate this question:

The cashbook showed an overdraft of Rs. 2,000 as cash at bank, but the pass book,made up tothe same date showed that cheques of Rs. 200, Rs. 150 and Rs. 175 respectively had not been presented for payments; and the cheque of Rs. 600 paid into account had not been cleared. The balance as per the pass book will be
- A.
Rs. 2,150
- B.
Rs. 2,175
- C.
Rs. 1,475
- D.
Rs. 2,075
Correct Answer
D. Rs. 2,075Explanation
The cashbook showed an overdraft of Rs. 2,000, which means that the bank account has a negative balance. However, the passbook shows that there are cheques totaling Rs. 525 (Rs. 200 + Rs. 150 + Rs. 175) that have not been presented for payment, and a cheque of Rs. 600 that has not been cleared. Therefore, these cheques should be deducted from the overdraft amount.
Rs. 2,000 - Rs. 525 - Rs. 600 = Rs. 875
However, the passbook balance is the opposite of the cashbook balance, so the final answer is the negative of Rs. 875, which is Rs. -875 or Rs. 2,075.Rate this question:

The bank account of Mukesh was balanced on 31st March, 2006, showing an overdraft of Rs.50,000.

When money is withdrawn from the bank, the bank debits the account of the customer. This means that the bank reduces the balance in the customer's account by the amount of money that was withdrawn. Debiting an account is a common accounting practice that reflects a decrease in assets or an increase in liabilities. In this case, the customer's account balance is considered an asset for the bank, and when money is withdrawn, the bank debits the account to reflect the decrease in the asset.Rate this question:

- C.

- D.
Add Rs. 3,500.
Correct Answer
C. Subtract Rs.3,500.Explanation
When preparing the bank reconciliation statement, the effect of the cheques that have not been collected yet is to subtract the amount from the balance as per the cash book. In this case, the cheques amounting to Rs. 5,000 were deposited, but only cheques aggregating Rs. 1,500 were credited in March and cheques aggregating Rs. 2,000 were credited in April. Therefore, the remaining amount of Rs. 1,500 (5,000 - 1,500 - 2,000) represents the cheques that have not been collected yet. Thus, the correct answer is to subtract Rs. 3,500 from the balance as per the cash book.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Rs. 16130Explanation
The overdraft as per the cash book will be Rs. 16130. This is because the overdraft is calculated by adding the outstanding cheques and deducting any deposits not recorded in the cash book. In this case, the outstanding cheques amount to Rs. 6000 and the deposits not recorded amount to Rs. 100. Additionally, the bank charges recorded twice in the cash book should be deducted, which amount to Rs. 30. Therefore, the overdraft is calculated as Rs. 6000 + Rs. 100 - Rs. 30 = Rs. 6070. Adding this to the initial overdraft of Rs. 10000 gives a total overdraft of Rs. 16070.Rate this question:

When preparing a Bank Reconciliation Statement, if you start with an overdraft as per the Cash Book, it means that the balance in the Cash Book is negative, indicating that the company has taken out more money from the bank account than it had in the account. In this case, if interest has been debited in the Pass Book (bank statement) but has not yet been recorded in the Cash Book within the given period, it means that the company owes the bank more money due to the interest charges.

The cheques not yet presented amount to Rs.730, and the cheques deposited but not yet recorded by the bank amount to Rs.477. Therefore, the balance as per the pass book will be the balance as per the adjusted cash book plus the cheques not yet presented minus the cheques deposited but not yet recorded by the bank.

The balance as per the Cash Book on 31.03.2006 is Rs. 10,000. However, there are certain transactions that need to be considered in order to determine the balance as per the pass book.
1. Cheque issued and presented on 4th April for Rs. 2,300: This transaction has not yet been recorded in the Cash Book, so it will reduce the balance in the pass book by Rs. 2,300.
2. Cheque sent to the bank but not credited for Rs. 2,000: Since this transaction has not been credited in the Cash Book, it will reduce the balance in the pass book by Rs. 2,000.
3. B/P paid by the bank not entered in the Cash Book for Rs. 800: As this transaction has not been recorded in the Cash Book, it will reduce the balance in the pass book by Rs. 800.
Therefore, the total deductions from the balance as per the Cash Book would be Rs. 2,300 + Rs. 2,000 + Rs. 800 = Rs. 5,100.
Hence, the balance as per the pass book will be Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 5,100 = Rs. 9,500.Rate this question:

- A.
A part of the cash book
- B.

None of the above.
Correct Answer
B. A statement showing the causes of differences between the balance of cash book and passbook.Explanation
The correct answer is "A statement showing the causes of differences between the balance of cash book and passbook." This is because a bank reconciliation statement is used to reconcile the differences between the balance shown in the cash book (the company's record of its cash transactions) and the balance shown in the bank passbook (the bank's record of the company's transactions). It helps to identify any errors, omissions, or timing differences that may have caused the discrepancies between the two balances.Rate this question:

- A.
Rs.32,000
- B.
Rs.16,000
- C.

- D.
Rs. 18,000
Correct Answer
B. Rs.16,000Explanation
The credit balance as per passbook on 31.3.2006 is Rs.22000. Cheques deposited but not cleared amount to Rs.2000 and cheques issued but not presented of Rs.8000. To find the balance as per cash book, we need to subtract the amount of cheques deposited but not cleared and add the amount of cheques issued but not presented to the credit balance as per passbook. Therefore, the balance as per cash book should be Rs.22000 - Rs.2000 + Rs.8000 = Rs.16000.Rate this question:

When drawing up a B.R.S. If you start with a debit balance as per the Bank statement, the unpresented cheques should be
- A.
Not required to be adjusted
- B.
Subtracted
- C.
Added
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. AddedExplanation
When drawing up a Bank Reconciliation Statement (B.R.S.), if you start with a debit balance as per the Bank statement, it means that the Bank statement shows more withdrawals than what is recorded in the company's books. This could be due to unpresented cheques, which are cheques issued by the company but have not yet been presented to the bank for payment. In order to reconcile the difference between the Bank statement and the company's books, these unpresented cheques need to be added to the company's balance in the B.R.S. Therefore, the correct answer is "Added".Rate this question:

In the bank reconciliation statement, when balance as per cash book is taken as the starting point, the direct deposits from customer of Rs.10,000 in the bank will be
- A.
Subtracted
- B.
Added
- C.
Ignored
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. AddedExplanation
When the balance as per cash book is taken as the starting point in the bank reconciliation statement, the direct deposits from customers of Rs.10,000 in the bank will be added. This is because the cash book records all the transactions made by the company, including the deposits made by customers. Therefore, when reconciling the cash book balance with the bank statement, the deposits made by customers should be added to the cash book balance to reflect the correct balance as per the bank statement.Rate this question:

- A.
Errors in cash book
- B.
Errors in pass book
- C.
Cheques deposited and cleared
- D.
Cheques issued but not presented for payment.
Correct Answer
C. Cheques deposited and clearedExplanation
The reason why "Cheques deposited and cleared" is not a cause of difference in balance between the pass book and cash book is because when a cheque is deposited and cleared, it means that the amount has been successfully added to the bank account and recorded in both the pass book and cash book. Therefore, there should not be any discrepancy in balance due to this transaction.Rate this question:

- B.
Debit balance in pass book
- C.
Cash balance with bank
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Bank overdraft as per cash bookExplanation
A debit balance as per pass book means that the pass book shows a higher amount of withdrawals or debits compared to the amount of deposits or credits. This indicates that the bank account is overdrawn or in a negative balance. The correct answer, "Bank overdraft as per cash book," aligns with this explanation as it states that the cash book (which records all transactions) shows a bank overdraft, confirming the negative balance in the pass book.Rate this question:

Difference in bank balance as per bank pass book and cash book may arise on account of
- A.
Cheque deposited but not collected
- B.
Direct payment by customer in bank
- C.
Cheque issued but not presented
- D.
All of the three
Correct Answer
D. All of the threeExplanation
The difference in bank balance as per the bank pass book and cash book can arise due to various reasons. Cheques that have been deposited but not yet collected by the bank can cause a difference in balances. Similarly, when customers make direct payments to the bank without recording them in the cash book, it can lead to a difference. Additionally, if cheques have been issued but not yet presented to the bank for payment, it can also result in a discrepancy between the two balances. Therefore, all three factors can contribute to the difference in bank balance.Rate this question:

When the overdraft as per cash book is the starting point and a cheque of Rs.1500 deposited into bank has not been recorded in cash book, then in the bank reconciliation statement it will be
- A.
Added by Rs. 1,500
- B.
Deducted by Rs 1,500
- C.
Deducted by Rs.3,000
- D.
Added by Rs.3,000
Correct Answer
B. Deducted by Rs 1,500Explanation
In the bank reconciliation statement, the cheque of Rs.1500 deposited into the bank but not recorded in the cash book will be deducted by Rs. 1,500. This is because the cash book balance is the starting point, and since the cheque deposit is not recorded, it means that the cash book balance is overstated by Rs. 1,500. Therefore, to reconcile the cash book balance with the bank statement balance, the unrecorded cheque deposit needs to be deducted from the cash book balance.Rate this question:

- A.

- B.
Cash book
- C.
Both(a)or(b)
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Both(a)or(b)Explanation
The bank reconciliation statement is prepared with the balances of both the pass book and the cash book. This is because the purpose of the bank reconciliation statement is to identify and explain any differences between the two sets of records. By comparing the balances of both the pass book and the cash book, any discrepancies such as outstanding checks, bank charges, or deposits in transit can be identified and adjusted for. Therefore, the correct answer is both (a) or (b), as both the pass book and the cash book balances are used in preparing the bank reconciliation statement.Rate this question:

- A.
Deducted from the Bank Reconciliation Statement
- B.
No effect in the Bank Reconciliation Statement
- C.
Added in the Bank Reconciliation Statement
- D.
None of the three
Correct Answer
C. Added in the Bank Reconciliation StatementExplanation
If there is an overdraft as per the Cash Book, it means that the company has a negative balance in its bank account. If there is a wrong debit in the pass book, it means that the bank has mistakenly debited the company's account for an amount that it should not have. In this case, the correct answer is "Added in the Bank Reconciliation Statement" because the wrong debit will increase the balance in the pass book, which needs to be adjusted in the bank reconciliation statement to match the balance in the Cash Book.Rate this question:
