Additional Information
Check No. 5904 is correctly drawn for $2,080 to pay for computer equipment; however, the record keeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debit to Computer Equipment and a credit to Cash of $2,050. The NSF check shown in the statement was originally received from a customer,
S. Nilson, in payment of her account. Its return has not yet been recorded by the company. The credit memorandum is from the collection of a $1,400 note for Els Company by the bank. The bank deducted a $15 collection fee. The collection and fee are not yet recorded.
Required
1. Prepare the September 30, 2011, bank reconciliation for this company.
2. Prepare the journal entries to adjust the book balance of cash to the reconciled balance.
3. The bank statement reveals that some of the prenumbered checks in the sequence are missing. Describe three situations that could explain this.
