• In reviewing cheques returned by the bank, the bookkeeper discovered that cheque #28, for delivery expense, was recorded in the Cash Disbursements Journal correctly as $4,900.
• The NSF cheque for $13,736 was that of customer Oprah Winney, deposited in March.
• On the bank statement, the payment for $15,362 is regarding a note payable.
• There is also a deposit of $110,000 dated April 30. It is an investment made by the owner into the business (the bank transferred the funds electronically from the owner’s personal account to his business account, which is why it was not recorded in the Cash Receipts Journal).

Required:
a. Prepare a bank reconciliation for Stewart Recording Studio at April 30.
