Bills Lawn Care Mini Practice Part 4

In June, Bill commented to you that he could never figure out his bank statement, it never matches the

balance in my accounting records he tells you. So you explain that a bank reconciliation is a tool used

to balance the bank statement to the accounting books. He gives you his bank statement for June, 2014

(shown below). The general ledger shows a balance for the account cash of $14,319.00 on June 30,

2014 (detail transactions below). Bills business only has one checking account and no other cash

accounts.

Bill has begun to have problems collecting some of his credit accounts and is considering writing off a

couple of customer account balances. He asks you how these bad debts should be recorded and has

asked you to begin recording bad debt using the allowance method for June, 2014. Selected account

balances at the end of June, 2014 are:

Sales $7,200

Sales on Credit $2,900

Accounts Receivable $3,200

As a result of increased focus on collecting accounts receivable, Bill has decided to extend credit for one

customer, Alan Jones, who owes Bills Lawn Care $500. Bill and Alan have agreed to a 90-day 6% note

for $500 issued on June 5, 2014.

Care as of June 30, 2014. Record the necessary journal entries to adjust the books for the
