Question 2 • POP Financial Math 26/27
The bank balance is $15.52 higher than the check register balance: $386.29 − $370.77 = $15.52. An outstanding check makes the bank balance higher than the register, while an outstanding deposit makes it lower. The $78.17 electric-company check minus the $62.65 tax-return deposit equals $15.52, so the outstanding items are I and IV: the electric-company check and the tax-return deposit.
