    Hallo,

    In this example:

    The following bank reconciliation statement has been prepared by a trainee accountant:
    $
    Overdraft per bank statement 3,860
    less: Outstanding cheques 9,160
    5,300
    add: Deposits credited after date 16,690
    Cash at bank as calculated above 21,990
    What should be the correct balance per the cash book?

    Answers:
    A $21,990 balance at bank as stated
    B $3,670 balance at bank
    C $11,390 balance at bank
    D $3,670 overdrawn.

    Correct answer:
    – 3,860 – 9,160 + 16,690 = 3,670. Remember that the opening bank balance is overdrawn.

    My Q: What is the difference between answer B and D is, meaning, if we have an o/d balance in the bank, wouldn’t it be also overdrawn in our cash book, as I thought the correct answer is D? It looks like if we have an o/d balance in the bank, doesn’t mean it is o/d in the cash book?

    Thank you!

    Hallo, the solution is clear, I have solved it incorrectly, the balance is not o/d in both cases, after correcting.
