Part 1

As a first step, you have opened a chequing account (215 331 789). You will deposit all funds received to this account and use it to make payments as necessary. The bank has provided you with a cheque register to document and record all transactions. The campaign officially begins the first week of October and in that week you receive several contributions. They included cheques as follows:

Martin Albertson	$1500	Luyin Wu	$120
Guy Beauchamp	$ 75	Keri-An Mahar	$500
James Robertson	$ 600	Greg Lee	$250

Each department at head office has held a 50/50 draw where the proceeds of ticket sales are divided equally between the winner and the fundraising campaign. At the end of the week, in addition to the cheques noted above, you also have the following cash to be readied for deposit: fifty $1 coins, thirty-five $2 coins, ten $5 bills, three $10 bills, and two $20 bills.

A cheque register, a deposit slip, and six cheques are available in files Project 9-3a, 9-3b, and 9-3c. Use the information provided to complete the deposit slip. Be sure to put a restrictive endorsement on the cheques and record the deposit in the cheque register.

Throughout the month you continue to receive direct contributions and cash funds from raffles and 50/50 draws. The weekly deposit totals are as follows:

Week 2	$5346 (cash $346; cheques $5000)
Week 3	$2894 (cash $594; cheques $2300)
Week 4	$1785 (cash $285; cheques $1500)

Assume that you have made these deposits at the end of each week and that you have entered them into the cheque register. (In an actual situation, you would also issue individual receipts for each contribution.)

PART 2

The fundraising committee had some interesting ideas to encourage the widest possible involvement of the employees at head office. Implementing these ideas required the purchase of some items. You have received several invoices. At the beginning of the last week of the month, you have set aside time to pay the invoices. As you are the person who opened the bank account, you are authorized to sign the cheques.

Cheque forms are contained in file Project 9-4. Use the following information to prepare these cheques. Be sure to also enter the amounts into the cheque register.

Lumiere Restaurant	$250	(raffle prize of a dinner for two)
Staples Office Supplies	$33.33	(raffle and 50/50 draw tickets)
The Casual Gourmet	$65.23	(fundraising committee lunch)
The Village Bouquet	$65.75	(floral arrangementmonthly raffle sales winner)
High River Rentals	$250	(rental of barbecue for luncheon)

PART 3

In the first week of November, you receive the first monthly statement from the bank (Project 9-5a). The balance as of the end of October is $10 977.76, which includes interest of $20.84 and processing fees of $2.85. You notice that the last deposit you made was too late to have been captured in this statement, and that two of the cheques you wrote, for Staples and The Village Bouquet, do not appear on the list of cancelled cheques.

Print a copy of the reconciliation form in Project 9-5b in PDF format. Reconcile the bank statement with the cheque register you have created based on the transactions recorded in Projects 9-3 and 9-4.
