The amount of outstanding checks on McKeel's July bank reconciliation should be $18,000

Explanation:

= Outstanding Checks balance of June + issued checks in the month of July - check cleared in the month of July

= $5,400 + $38,900 - $26,300

= $18,000

For computing the accurate balance, we deducted the cleared checks and added the issued checks in the June balance of the outstanding checks
