Solution
The correct option is D deduction from balance of cash book Cheque issued for store supplies is an expense for the business which will reduce the balance in the cash book when debited by the book keeper. When the book keeper recorded a cheque at Rs. 340.56 and the bank recorded it correctly at Rs. 430.65, the bank reconciliation statement will require deduction for book balance of cash as the book keeper credited the cash book short by Rs. 90.09 .
