Answer 1

Answer:

The reconciled balance is 7,294.14

Explanation:

bank statement      3,881.14

deposit in transit   9,555.88

oustanding check (6,142.88)  

bank statment        7.294,14

From the bank accout we deduct the outstanding check and increase by the deposit in transit.

accounting        922.55

interst                   77

service charge    (38.22)

note collected  6,815.00

check                 (482. 19)  

accounting      7.294,14‬

From the accounting we adjust for the transaciton which aren't know by the company:

the interest and service charge, the note colected and we also adjsut for mistake like the check not deducted.

in both we must reach the same final answer.
