Reconcile the bank account due
Reconcile the bank account-
The following information is available to reconcile ACME company’s book balance of cash with its bank statement cash balance of January 31, 2019:
- After posting is complete, the January 31 cash balance according to the accounting records is $34,522.22, and the bank statement cash balance for that date is $49,163.52.
- Check No. 1373 for $4,818.77 and Check No. 1282 for $420, both written and entered in the accounting records in January, are not among the canceled checks. Two checks, No. 1230 for $2,403.45 and No. 1242 for $430.92, were outstanding on the most recent December 31 reconciliation. Check No. 1230 is listed with the January canceled checks, but the Check No. 1242 is not.
- When the January checks are compared with the entries in the accounting records, it is found that Check No. 1369 had been correctly drawn for $3,628.80 to pay for utilities expense but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $3826.80.
- Two debit memoranda are enclosed with the statement and are unrecorded at the time of the reconciliation. One of the debit memoranda is for $800.00 and dealt with an NSF check for $782.50 that had been received from a customer, Jackson Elite, in payment of its account. The bank assessed a $17.50 fee for processing it. The second debit memorandum is a $104.00 charge for check printing. ACME did not record this transaction before receiving the statement.
- A credit memorandum indicates that the bank collected $19,950 cash on a note receivable for the company, deducted a $20 collection fee, and credited the balance to the company’s cash account. ACME did not record this transaction before receiving the statement.
- ACME’s January 31 daily cash receipts of $10,252.39 were placed in the bank’s night depository on that date and do not appear on the January 31 bank statement.
