Question

Santana Rey receives the March bank statement for Business Solutions on April 11, 2018. The March 31 bank statement shows an ending cash balance of $67,666. A comparison of the bank statement with the general ledger Cash account, No. 101, reveals the following.
S. Rey notices that the bank erroneously cleared a $530 check against her account in March that she did not issue. The check documentation included with the bank statement shows that this check was actually issued by a company named Business Systems.
On March 25, the bank lists a $59 charge for the safety deposit box expense that Business Solutions agreed to rent from the bank beginning March 25.
On March 26, the bank lists a $103 charge for printed checks that Business Solutions ordered from the bank.
On March 31, the bank lists $31 interest earned on Business Solutions’s checking account for the month of March.
S. Rey notices that the check she issued for $138 on March 31, 2018, has not yet cleared the bank.
S. Rey verifies that all deposits made in March do appear on the March bank statement.
The general ledger Cash account, No. 101, shows an ending cash balance per books of $68,189 as of March 31 (prior to any reconciliation).
