I'm not sure, but I think it might be 21,340 credit because of the payments to payables and bank charges reducing the balance.

I think the answer is D) 21,340 credit. The question gives us the opening balance, and then we need to add the cash sales and receipts, and subtract the payments and bank charges. This seems to add up to a credit balance of 21,340.

I agree with Lina, because the cash sales and receipts from customers will increase the balance.
