Globe Company began April of Year 3 with a cash balance of $68,000 in its operating account. During the month of April, Globe issued new checks totaling $14,000 to vendors. Of these newly issued checks, $9,000 cleared the bank in April. Globe also transferred $8,000 to its payroll account to pay employees during the month.

Globe's adjusted cash balance is calculated by taking the beginning balance of $68K - $14K for newly issued checks - $8K transferred to payroll + $18K deposited checks. It is irrelevant when Globe's issued checks actually cleared the bank.
