Cr Sales 14,290

d. If a cashier is consistently over or short what action should be taken?

First of all we need to find out that whether the cashier is genuinely making mistakes or there is a case of theft.There would be some close monitoring. If they are just mistakes, maybe some extra mentoring in cash handling would help.

E5-18

Part a and b are informational and thus we dont have to do anything with them.

Part c and d are reconciling terms.

Parts e and f needs entries to adjust the company's books. For e there needs to be a debit to cash for the incorrect amount and a credit for the correct amount. For f there needs to be a credit to cash.

E.
(Dr) Cash in bank $540 
(Cr) Accounts payable $540
$710 - $170

F.
(Dr) Bank charges $50 
(Cr) Cash in bank $50

Bank reconciliation:
Cash balance per book $24,010
Add: error $540 
Less: Debit memo $50
Adjusted book balance $24,500

Cash balance per bank $22,750
Add: Deposits in transit $9,100 
Less: Outstanding checks $7,350 
Adjusted bank balance $24,500

Hope you get it.
