Robin · Answer 1

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Deposit in transit is the term which is defined as the checks and cash which have been collected and reported by an entity in the books, but it is not yet recorded or processed in the records of the bank where the funds are deposited.

So, the item of deposit in transit will cause the cash per bank statement to be smaller than the balance of cash showed in the accounting records because it is that cash which is received by the company and sent to the bank but not yet processed or posted to the bank account by the bank.
