I feel confident that the opening balance plus cash inflows minus outflows will give us the final balance, but I can't recall the exact numbers.

I’m a bit confused about how the cash discounts affect the total. Do we subtract that from the payments or the total cash?

I think we need to add the cash sales and receipts, then subtract the payments and bank charges. It should be straightforward, right?

I feel pretty confident about this one. The ISO/IEC 20000 standard is all about establishing a quality management system, so the answer that mentions providing guidelines for quality management measures is the best choice.

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.
