El Gato Painting Company maintains a checking account at American Bank. Bank statements are prepared at the end of each month. The November 30, 2021, reconciliation of the bank balance is as follows:
 

             
Balance per bank, November 30       $ 3,301  
Add: Deposits outstanding         1,270  
Less: Checks outstanding            
#363 $ 130        
#365   208        
#380   63        
#381   93        
#382   410     (904 )
Adjusted balance per bank, November 30       $ 3,667  


The company’s general ledger checking account showed the following for December:
 

         
Balance, December 1   $ 3,667  
Receipts     43,350  
Disbursements     (42,553 )
Balance, December 31   $ 4,464  


The December bank statement contained the following information:
 

           
  Balance, December 1   $ 3,301    
  Deposits     43,700    
  Checks processed     (42,618 )  
  Service charges     (29 )  
  NSF checks     (510 )  
  Balance, December 31   $ 3,844    


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 $310 was correctly recorded by the bank but was incorrectly recorded on the books as a $130 disbursement for advertising expense. Included in the bank’s deposits is a $2,000 deposit incorrectly credited to the company’s 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, 2021.
2. Prepare any necessary adjusting journal entries indicated.
