The cash in hand on 31st July is
N2,220
N2,078
N1,642
N578
Correct answer is D
The cash at hand refers to the amount of money that your business has immediately available on the last day of the reporting period. Hence we have;
Income = 420 + 1800 = 2220
Expense = 42 + 100 + 1500 = 1642
2220 - 1642 = 578
