Bank Reconciliation
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Cash balance according to the bank $23,557.98

+ deposits in transit $12,125.25

- outstanding check N⁰ 124 ($62)

- outstanding check N⁰ 125 ($42)

- outstanding check N⁰ 129 ($1,250)

adjusted bank balance = $34,329.23

Cash account balance $51,596.88

+ note collected by bank $15,250.75

- NSF check ($23,475.40)

- Bank fees ($250)

- Error in recording check N⁰ 125 ($9,000)

adjusted cash account balance = $34,122.23

two errors were detected:

  1. outstanding check N⁰ 125 correct amount is ($24)
  2. bank fees are $25

so the readjusted balances are:

adjusted bank balance = $34,329.23 + ($42 - $24) = $34,347.23

adjusted cash account balance = $34,122.23 + ($250 - $25) = $34,347.23

now both accounts are equal.

If there is a specific motivator that an employer knows an employee refers to with positive behaviors, there is a good chance the employeer will be able to guesstimate what the end result of the situation would be. In this case, Howie needs to spend more time learning what his employees like and dislike to figure out a way to keep them motivated long term.
