Question 3 • POP Financial Math 26/27
The register balance is $9.19 less than the bank statement balance: $248.53 − $257.72 = −$9.19. An outstanding check makes the register balance lower than the bank balance, while an outstanding deposit makes it higher. Check II minus deposit IV gives $73.98 − $64.79 = $9.19, so the outstanding items are the $73.98 check to the mechanic and the $64.79 check deposit from Brett’s cousin.
