  • Cheque #5904 was correctly written for $9,340.55 to pay for computer equipment; however, the bookkeeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debit to Computer Equipment and a credit to Cash as though it were for $3,940.55. The NSF cheque was originally received from a customer, Lisa Willis, in payment of her account. Its return was not recorded when the bank first notified the company.
  • The credit memo resulted from an electronic fund transfer of $3,540 for a customer payment. The bank had deducted a $50.00 bank service charge. The collection has not been recorded.
