    b $19,000

    Explanation:

    The reconciliation between the book balance and the bank statement examines the transactions recorded in either account but omitted in the other and the transactions recorded wrongly in both accounts.

    Given the following transactions

    Cash in Bank - checking account = $18, 500

    Cash on hand = $500

    Post dated checks received = $3 500 and

    Certificates of deposits = $24,000

    Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 + $24,000

    = $43,000

    The post dated check is not included as the cash is yet to be received. The balance in the post dated check will form part of the receivables balance and not that of cash.

    The certificate of deposit may be accounted for as part of cash and cash equivalent as shown in the computation above. Where the certificate of deposit is accounted for as a short term investment,

    Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 = $19,000
