The adjusted cash balance per the bank records should be: $24,740.

Explanation:

The correct Cash balance can only be verified using a Bank Reconciliation Statement.

Thus prepare a Bank Reconciliation Statement to extract the updated Cash Book Balance.

Less Lodgements not yet credited ($2,450)

Balance as per Bank Statement ($23,361 + $36) $23,397

Conclusion:

The adjusted cash balance per the bank records should be: $24,740.
