d. The total amount of cash on hand should be $ 6,540

Explanation:

The bank reconciliation is prepared starting from the  bank statement

and adjusting to arrive at the cash book balance prior to the adjustment.

The amount for the deposits in transit is calculated as under

Deposits per bank cash book  - Deposits per bank statement

$ 18,00 - $ 17,900 = $ 900  

The only entry required in the cash book is $ 30 for bank service charges, as the other items, deposits in transit and uncleared cheques are already recorded in the cash book.

The adjusted balance in the cash book is after deduction of the bank service fees. i.e $ 6,290 - $ 30 = $ 6,260

The cash on hand balance on the balance sheet aggregates the cash  balance and the petty cash balance.

$ 6,260 + $ 280 = $ 6,540
