Question:

One of your cousins owns Parcher Supplies Ltd. (PSL). She has asked for your help in preparing PSL’s bank reconciliation for the month of October and gathered the following information:
• PSL’s bank statement indicated that the company’s account balance was $9,567 on October 1, 2024, and $8,859 at October 31, 2024.

• The cash balance per the company’s records was $9,671 at October 31.
• At October 31, PSL had cheques with a value of $4,115 that the company had written and mailed out but that had not yet cleared the company’s bank account.
• A cheque for $1,620 from one of PSL’s customers was returned with the bank statement as “NSF.” The cheque had been deposited during the last week of October.
• During the month, an automatic payment of $275 was withdrawn from PSL’s account to pay for insurance coverage. Your cousin had forgotten about this automatic payment until she received the bank statement.
• Cheque #2116, which was a payment for advertising expenses, had been correctly written for $975 but had been incorrectly recorded in the general ledger as $795.
• The cash receipts for October 31 had been deposited in the night drop slot at the bank that night. These amounted to $2,820 and were not reflected on the bank statement for October.
• The bank service charges were $32 for the month.
