Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Calculate the total Debit (Dr) entries for Cash.

    The Dr Cash entries are:

    32,000(Balance b/f)+500(Cash)+900(Sales)+400(Commission)+200(Bank C)+2,000(Sales)=36,00032,000 (\text{Balance b/f}) + 500 (\text{Cash}) + 900 (\text{Sales}) + 400 (\text{Commission}) + 200 (\text{Bank C}) + 2,000 (\text{Sales}) = 36,000

    The total Dr Cash is 36,000.

  2. Calculate the total Credit (Cr) entries for Cash.

    The Cr Cash entries are:

    300(Drawings)+350(Purchase)+1,500(Insurance)+1,000(Office)=3,150300 (\text{Drawings}) + 350 (\text{Purchase}) + 1,500 (\text{Insurance}) + 1,000 (\text{Office}) = 3,150

    The total Cr Cash is 3,150.

  3. Determine the closing Cash balance (Balance c/d).

    The Cash balance c/d is the total Dr Cash minus the total Cr Cash.

    Cash Balance c/d=36,000−3,150=32,850\text{Cash Balance c/d} = 36,000 - 3,150 = 32,850
  4. Calculate the total Debit (Dr) entries for Bank.

    The Dr Bank entries are:

    25,000(Balance b/f)+1,000(Cash C)=26,00025,000 (\text{Balance b/f}) + 1,000 (\text{Cash C}) = 26,000

    The total Dr Bank is 26,000.

  5. Calculate the total Credit (Cr) entries for Bank.

    The Cr Bank entries are:

    500(Bank C)+600(Motor Van)+250(Salaries)+200(Cash C)+1,000(Bank C)+3,000(Purchase)+2,000(Drawings)+2,000(Office)=9,550500 (\text{Bank C}) + 600 (\text{Motor Van}) + 250 (\text{Salaries}) + 200 (\text{Cash C}) + 1,000 (\text{Bank C}) + 3,000 (\text{Purchase}) + 2,000 (\text{Drawings}) + 2,000 (\text{Office}) = 9,550

    The total Cr Bank is 9,550.

  6. Determine the closing Bank balance (Balance c/d).

    The Bank balance c/d is the total Dr Bank minus the total Cr Bank.

    Bank Balance c/d=26,000−9,550=16,450\text{Bank Balance c/d} = 26,000 - 9,550 = 16,450

    The correct closing balances for Malick Ceesay's Cash Book as of March 31, 2003, are:
    Cash Balance: 32,850\boxed{\text{32,850}}
    Bank Balance: 16,450\boxed{\text{16,450}}
