This is the ACCA AB forum (previously called F1). Foundation FA1 queries should be posted here: https://opentuition.com/forum/fia-forums/fa1-recording-financial-transactions-forums/. However: 40: 1 Needs to be deducted from BS balance to bring it up to date. 167 - 394 = -227 (ie o/d) 2 No adjustment needed to BS as these are on it. 3 Needs to be added to BS balance to bring it up to date. -227 + 643 = 416 2 CB was ok with respect to 1 and 3. Item 2 would not have been in Cb so we need to adjust for them: 416 - 850 + 112 = 322 credit.

How do we know that; 1. cheques totaling $394 sent out by the company before 30 June were not cleared until July are unpresented cheques or outstanding lodgements?

They were sent out by the company.Use of the definite article 'the' implies we are talking about the specific comany that is the subject of the question. If these were cheques from a customer, it would have to specifically say something like "Cheques cent out by a customer.." or even '"Cheques sent out by a company...".
