Answer 1

Answer:

reconciliate balance $ 22,388,675‬

Explanation:

bank statement:                18,835

deposits in transit           100,740

                                 22,376,200

outstanding check

  10189                            (56,710)

  10192                            (15,365)

  10193                           (22,650)

  10194                            (12,375)

Adjusted balance:  22,388,675‬

checkbook balance: 22,385,105

      interest earned           4,020

      ATM card fees              (450)

  Adjusted balance:  22,388,675

Notes: For each statement we adjust for the unknown information.

The bank is unaware of the outstanding check and the deposit in transit.  So we adjust for these concepts.

The company has no knowledge of the ffes and interest earned until receiving the bank statement so we must adjust for that amount.
