In this question:

a. Check outstanding of $19,427 are checks issued to creditors which where not presented for payment. generally known as unpresented checks.

b. The receipts of $12,300 recorded in Pala Medical Co. cash book was not credited by the bank, this will obviously cause a disagreement between the bank statement and the cash book at month end.

c. The amount of $26,500 recorded in the bank statement must be reported correctly the the cash book and the relevant ledger by debiting the cash book by the total receipt of $26,500 and crediting investment and with $25,000 and crediting the interest elements to interest income account.

d. The wrong recording of $400 instead of $4000 must be corrected by reversing the initial entry. this is done by debiting Cash book with $400 and crediting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $400 and recording the correct entry by debiting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $4000 and crediting cash book by $4000.

e. The check of $195 is recorded correctly already in the cash book, it is the bank to pass the necessary entry but it will only enter the company cash book.

f. Bank service charge should be recorded by debiting bank charges with $55 and crediting cash book with $55
