Solution

To calculate the adjusted book balance, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Start with the book balance: $32,840.

  2. Add the amount of the non-interest note collected by the bank: 4,100.Thisismoneythatthebankhascollectedonbehalfofthefirm,soitincreasesthebalance.4,100. This is money that the bank has collected on behalf of the firm, so it increases the balance. 32,840 + 4,100=4,100 = 36,940.

  3. Subtract the amount of the outstanding checks: 1,400.Thesearechecksthatthefirmhaswrittenbuthavenotyetbeencashed,sotheydecreasethebalance.1,400. These are checks that the firm has written but have not yet been cashed, so they decrease the balance. 36,940 - 1,400=1,400 = 35,540.

  4. Subtract the service charge: 100.Thisisafeethatthebankchargesforitsservices,soitalsodecreasesthebalance.100. This is a fee that the bank charges for its services, so it also decreases the balance. 35,540 - 100=100 = 35,440.

So, the adjusted book balance is $35,440.
