Balloon Supply Co. reconciled its bank statement balances of Cash on October 31 and showed two cheques
Question:
Balloon Supply Co. reconciled its bank statement balances of Cash on October 31 and showed two cheques outstanding at that time, #1388 for $14,650 and #1393 for $9,800. The following information was available for the November 30, 2023, reconciliation:
Cheque #1404 was correctly written for $2,601 to pay for computer equipment: however, the bookkeeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debit to Computer Equipment and a credit to Cash as though it were for $6,201.
The NSF cheque was originally received from a customer, Jerry Skyles, in payment of his account. Its return was not recorded when the bank first notified the company.
The credit memo resulted from receiving an electronic fund transfer of $10,700 for a customer payment. The bank had deducted a $150 bank service charge fee. The collection has not been recorded in the books.
Required
1. Prepare a November 30 bank reconciliation for the company.
2. Prepare the general journal entries needed to adjust the book balance of Cash to the reconciled balance.
