On July 1, 2018, the accountant for Eastern Imports downloaded the company's June 31, 2018, bank statement from the bank's Website. The balance shown on the bank statement was $28,710. The June 31, 2018, balance in the Cash account in the general ledger was $14,537.

3. The accounting records indicate that Check 1425 was issued for $60 to make a purchase of supplies. However, examination of the check online showed that the actual amount of the check was for $90.
4. A deposit of $750 made after banking hours on June 31 did not appear on the June 31 bank statement.
