Question 1

When preparing a BRS starting with the "Debit Balance as per Cash Book", how should "Cheques issued but not yet presented for payment" be treated?

Subtracted.Added.Multiplied by 2.Ignored.

View Explanation

When you issue a cheque, you deduct it from the Cash Book immediately. However, the Passbook balance remains higher until the cheque is presented. To reconcile (match Passbook), you must add the amount back to the Cash Book balance.

Question 2

If the starting point is "Overdraft as per Passbook", and a cheque of ?5000 deposited has not yet been collected/credited, what should be done?

No adjustment neededSubtract ?5000Multiply by -1Add ?5000

View Explanation

Start: OD as per Passbook. Cheque deposited means Cash Book balance increased (OD decreased). Passbook hasn't changed yet (High OD). To match Cash Book (target), we must reduce the OD. But wait, logic check: Passbook OD is HIGH. Cashbook OD is LOW (because we assumed deposit). To go from Passbook to Cashbook, we must reduce the OD. "Less" in favorable balance logic means "Add" in Overdraft logic? Let's simplify. PB is -100. CB is -95 (cheque added). Start -100. Target -95. You must Add 5. Correct.

Question 3

A "Debit Balance" in the Passbook indicates:

Bank error.Nil balance.Unfavorable Balance (Overdraft).Favorable Balance (Money in bank).

View Explanation

For the bank, customer deposits are liabilities (Credit balance). Therefore, a Debit balance in the Passbook means the customer owes money to the bank (Overdraft).

Question 4

Which of the following is a "Timing Difference" causing disagreement between Cash Book and Passbook?

Double entry of a cheque.Wrong total in Cash Book.Cheques issued but not presented for payment.Cheque omitted to be recorded in Cash Book.

View Explanation

Errors (Wrong total, Omission, Double entry) are mistakes. "Cheques issued but not presented" is a timing difference because the transaction is correct but recorded at different times by the firm and the bank.

Question 5

A customer directly deposited ?2000 in the bank account. In the BRS starting with Cash Book Balance, this amount will be:

AddedIgnoredDividedSubtracted

View Explanation

Direct deposit increases the Passbook balance. The Cash Book balance is lower because the accountant doesn't know yet. To match the Cash Book with the Passbook (Target), we must ADD the amount.

Question 6

A cheque deposited for ?10,000 was dishonoured. This was not recorded in the Cash Book. In BRS starting with Cash Book balance, this amount should be:

AddedMultipliedSubtractedIgnored

View Explanation

When deposited, Cash Book was increased. Dishonour means Passbook did not increase (or increased and decreased). Since Cash Book is still high, we must Subtract the amount to match Passbook.

Question 7

In BRS, if the starting point is "Balance as per Cash Book" and the bank has wrongly credited the account with ?1000, what should be done?

Add ?1000Report to RBISubtract ?1000Ignore as it is an error

View Explanation

A wrong credit by the bank increases the Passbook balance. To reconcile the Cash Book with the Passbook (target), we must ADD the amount to the Cash Book balance, even though it is an error.

Question 8

When using the "Amended Cash Book" method for reconciliation, which differences are adjusted in the Cash Book itself before preparing BRS?

Timing differences (Cheques issued/deposited but not cleared).All differences.Errors committed by the Bank.Transactions already recorded by the Bank but not in Cash Book (e.g., Bank Charges, Direct Deposit) and Cash Book errors.

View Explanation

In this method, the Cash Book balance is first updated for items like Bank Charges, Interest, etc., which the bank has already passed. The BRS is then prepared only for timing differences (Cheques issued/deposited).

Question 9

A Bill Receivable discounted with the bank was dishonoured. The bank debited the customer's account. This was not recorded in the Cash Book. To reconcile (starting from Cash Book):

Subtract the amount.Add double the amount.Do nothing.Add the amount.

View Explanation

Bank has reduced the balance (Passbook down). Cash Book is higher. To match Passbook, Subtract from Cash Book.

Question 10

A Debit Balance in the Cash Book is equivalent to:

Overdraft in Pass Book.Credit Balance in Pass Book.Debit Balance in Pass Book.Loan Account.

View Explanation

Debit in Cash Book = Asset (Money we have). Credit in Pass Book = Liability for Bank (Bank owes us money). They are opposite.

Question 11

Interest on Overdraft charged by the bank (not recorded in Cash Book) will cause the Passbook balance to be _____ than the Cash Book balance.

SameLowerDoubleHigher

View Explanation

Interest charged increases the Overdraft (making the balance more negative/lower). Cash Book hasn't recorded it, so it shows a better position (higher/less negative).

Question 12

Bank paid insurance premium as per Standing Instruction. This was not recorded in Cash Book. In BRS starting with Passbook balance, what to do?

Ignore.None of the above.Subtract the amount.Add the amount.

View Explanation

Start: Passbook (Lower because payment made). Target: Cash Book (Higher because payment not recorded). To reach Target from Start, we must ADD.

Question 13

Insurance premium paid directly by the bank as per standing instructions will result in:

No difference.Passbook balance being lower than Cash Book balance.Passbook balance being higher than Cash Book balance.Passbook showing a credit.

View Explanation

Payment reduces the bank balance. Since it's not recorded in the Cash Book yet, the Cash Book balance remains higher.
