Question

Wright Company's cash account shows a $31,100 debit balance and its bank statement shows $29,400 on deposit at the close of business on May 31. O The May 31 bank statement lists $280 in bank service charges; the company has not yet recorded the cost of these services. O Outstanding checks as of May 31 total $7,400. O May 31 cash receipts of $8,000 were placed in the bank’s night depository after banking hours and were not recorded on the May 31 bank statement. O In reviewing the bank statement, a $580 check written by Smith Company was mistakenly drawn against Wright’s account. O The bank statement shows a $240 NSF check from a customer; the company has not yet recorded this NSF check. Prepare a bank reconciliation for the company using the above information.

Answer 1

Answer:

Bank Statement:     29,400

Outstanding checks (7,400)

Deposit in Transit      8,000

bank mistake               580

Adjusted bank       30,580

Cash account:  31,100

bank charges      (280)

NSF                      (240)

Adjusted Cash   30,580

Explanation:

From the bank we adjust for the bank unknow information and mistakes.

In this case, the bank is unaware of the oustanding check and the deposit from the company so this are adjustemtn we must do.

Also the bank made a mistake, It draw(subtract from our account) for a check which wasn't ours. Thus, we mus amend this mistake

For our cahs acount we also adjust for unknow information and mistake in our behalf:

We didn't know about the amount of the bank charge nor the non.sufficient funds until we are notice by the bank statement

The check was entered as cash from teh accounting but the check wasn't honor so, it didn't receive cash.

Both end up with the same amount which marks the reconciliation as correct.
