Answer: The outstanding checks at the end of February will be $4,000.
Explanation: An outstanding check can be defined as a check that a company has issued and recorded in its accounts, but the check is still unresolved or not settled with the bank account on which it is drawn.
This means that the bank balance will be greater than the company's true amount of cash.
At the beginning of February the company had an outstanding check of $8,000.
During the month of February, the bank statement showed $54,000 cashed while the company's books showed Frankel only writing out $50,000 in February.
Therefore, the outstanding checks would have decreased from $8,000 to $4,000 outstanding at the end of February.
