Answer:

Missing word "The bank collected $42,000 on a $40,000 note, including interest of $2,000. A check for $7,600 returned with the statement had been incorrectly recorded by American Medical Co. as $760. The check was for the payment of an obligation to Targhee Supply Co. for a purchase on account. A check drawn for $240 had been erroneously charged by the bank as $420. Bank service charges for April amounted to $145. Instructions: Prepare a bank reconciliation."
