Excel communications had a computer failure on Febuary 1, 2014, which resulted in the loss of data, including the balance of its Cash account and its bank reconciliation from January 31, 2014. The accountant, Brad Eyers, has been able to obtain the following information from the records of the company and its bank:

A. An examination showed that two cheques (#461 for $645 and #492 for $225) had not been cashed as of February, 1. Eyers recalled that there was only one deposit in transit on the January 31 bank reconciliation, but was unable to recall the amount.
