re: What’s the least amount a check would have to be for you not to even cash it?

I think you're confusing the difference between an individual writing a personal check and a company writing a check out of their operating account.

Not at all. Fundamentally, the exchange of money gives little difference between the two. I'm aware that one will result in more of a financial impact than the other, but that isn't the point and it isn't the question I asked.

if you dont need it then throw the check away if you're not going to deposit it. That would make me happy

I'd be happy of I could stake you naked over a bed or red ants.

Who doesn’t want $36 or any amount of money owed to them?

I'll cash it whenever I"m not dealing with a sick mother and I can get home.

You know you post while on the throne. You've got time.

You said the check being cashed costs the company $.21, that is dead wrong. Incurring the expense costs the company $.21. The cashing of the check just creates another journal entry.

What happens to that money until the check is cashed? What happens to that money after the check is cashed?

It moves accounts, the company doesn't own it once they write the check in accrual accounting. You are just trying to be right by now talking about the custody of the money, but what you originally said is and will always be wrong.

Again, you said it costs the company when the check is cashed, that's not accurate, the custody of the funds is just exchanged

What you're describing is simply shifting allocation of the money.

Figure that out, and start over.

I am right.

This is another teaching moment for you. I'm impressed that you apparently just finished up an accounting class for your undergrad work, though.

Remember when you tried telling everyone that losing weight wasn't about taking in less calories than you burn?

This is like that...
