A cheque of ₹25,000 was issued and also presented in same month, but erroneously recorded on the debit side of the cash book. Difference from pass book =

A₹25,000 unbalanced figure
B₹50,000 unbalanced figure
C₹12,500 unbalanced figure
D₹75,000 unbalanced figure
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ₹50,000 unbalanced figure
1. Correct treatment: cheque issued should be credited in cash book, reducing balance by ₹25,000. 2. Wrong treatment: recorded as debit increases cash book balance by ₹25,000. 3. Total deviation between correct and wrong cash book = 25,000 (missed credit) + 25,000 (wrong debit) = ₹50,000. 4. Pass book has correctly recorded the cheque as paid, so the gap is ₹50,000. _Source: ICAI BoS Foundation Paper 1, Ch 3 "Bank Reconciliation Statement", Practice T/F 13_
