El Gato Painting Company maintains a checking account at American Bank. Bank statements are prepared at the end of each month. The November 30, 2024, reconciliation of the bank balance is as follows:

Balance per bank, November 30 $ 3,251
Add: Deposits outstanding 1,220
Less: Checks outstanding
#363 $ 125
#365 203
#380 58
#381 88
#382 360 (834)
Adjusted balance per bank, November 30 $ 3,637

The companys general ledger checking account showed the following for December:

Balance, December 1 $ 3,637
Receipts 42,850
Disbursements (42,053)
Balance, December 31 $ 4,434

The December bank statement contained the following information:

Balance, December 1 $ 3,251
Deposits 43,200
Checks processed (42,118)
Service charges (24)
NSF checks (460)
Balance, December 31 $ 3,849

The checks that were processed by the bank in December include all of the outstanding checks at the end of November except for check #365. In addition, there are some December checks that had not been processed by the bank by the end of the month. Also, you discover that check #411 for $730 was correctly recorded by the bank but was incorrectly recorded on the books as a $370 disbursement for advertising expense. Included in the banks deposits is a $1,500 deposit incorrectly credited to the companys account. The deposit should have been posted to the credit of the Los Gatos Company. The NSF checks have not been redeposited and the company will seek payment from the customers involved.

Required:

  1. Prepare a bank reconciliation for the El Gato checking account at December 31, 2024.
  2. Prepare any necessary adjusting journal entries indicated.
