Question:
Shepard Company reconciled its bank balance on November 30 and showed two checks outstanding at that time, No. 404 for \(\$ 628\) and No. 409 for \(\$ 124\). The following information is available for the December 31 reconciliation:
Check No. 415 was correctly drawn for \(\$ 770\) in payment for store equipment; however, the bookkeeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debit to Store Equipment and a credit to Cash as though it were for \(\$ 707\). The bank paid and deducted the correct amount.
The NSF check was received from a customer, Fred Gantry, in payment of his account. Its return was unrecorded. The credit memorandum resulted from a \(\$ 1,500\) note which the bank had collected for the company. The bank had deducted a \(\$ 15\) collection fee and deposited the balance in the company's account. The collection fee was not recorded.
