    Hi Mr Moffatt! Please help me with this one

    Mauritz Co is preparing a bank reconciliation. The bank balance in the general ledger is $540
    credit. There are two items that have not yet been dealt with.
    1 A cheque for $620 was sent to a supplier but is not yet showing on the bank statement.
    2 A bank charge of $28 was charged by the bank, but was not recorded by Mauritz Co.
    What is the closing balance on Mauritz Co’s bank statement?

    A $1,132 overdrawn
    B $1,188 overdrawn
    C $52 cash at bank
    D $108 cash at bank

    ans is C,

    I know the answer to this is C but I do not understand why the check issued to a supplier counts as an outstanding lodgement. Doesn’t that suggest the money in fact is paid to our bank instead of the other way around? I thought we can use a check to pay suppliers?

    The cheque issued to the supplied is not an outstanding lodgment. It is an unpresented cheque (which is why the bank statement shows a higher balance than the ledger (in this case a positive balance instead of an overdraft)).
