What is the average daily float if there is 30 days in a month? Select one: O a $1,066.67 O b. $1,166.65 c. $1,360.05 d. $1,165.00

Answer 1

Answer is A.

Average daily float :

Float is money that appears in two bank accounts at once, due to a delay in processing.

Average daily float refers to the dollar amount of checks or other negotiable instruments that are in the process of collection by a bank, financial institution, or other entity over a certain period, divided by the number of days in the period.

Average Daily Float = ($16,000 x 2days) / 30days = $1066.67

This means that on average over the course of the month, this bank, financial institution, or other entity has access to $1066.67 of float each day. And it can earn interest on this float.
