I am confused with this question. Why was that answer added to the balance per books rather than deducted from balance per books. Shouldn't the other company deduct their book rather than the company add to theirs.

Question 6 Your answer is correct. A check written by the company for $167 is incorrectly recorded by a company as $176. On the bank reconciliation, the $9 error should be deducted from the balance per books. deducted from the balance per bank. added to the balance per books. added to the balance per bank
