Answer:

Looking at the data, there are only a few entries that increase and decrease cash.

The entry that increases cash is:

  • A check for $340 in payment of an account was erroneously recorded in the check register as $430.

This increases cash because the payment was higher than it should be so when we adjust it, the cash will increase to reflect that more of it was spent than it should have been.

The increase is:

= 430 - 340

= $90

The entry that decreases cash is:

  • Bank debit memo for service charges, $50.

Bank is charging us for its services. This is an expense that reduces the cash balance.
