The following information was available from records and the bank statement of Baldacchino Services Ltd, on 31 May.

On 31 May, the bank debited the account for \($268.00\) for a customer cheque (deposited in April) returned because of insufficient funds, and for \($32.00\) for account fees. On 31 May, the bank also credited the account for \($1250.00\) for the proceeds of a non-interest-bearing note receivable that it had collected on behalf of the company.
Outstanding cheques at the last statement date, 30 April, were: no. 320 for \($938.16\), no. 328 for \($242.00\), and no. 326 for $813.00; outstanding deposits were $1437.60.
The accountant discovered that cheque no. 336 (in payment for the purchase of office equipment) was correctly issued for \($810.30\) but incorrectly recorded in the cash payments journal as $801.30.
The balance in the Cash at Bank account in the company’s records on 1 May was \($16\) 998.54.
