Sandra Spark is the owner of Spark Images Ltd. (SIL), a graphic design company. She is trying to prepare a bank reconciliation for SIL’s bank account as at February 29, 2020. A review of SIL’s bank statement and accounting records showed the following:
- The accounting records showed a balance in the Cash account of $18,200.
- The bank statement showed that SIL began the month with a cash balance of $19,200 and ended with a cash balance of $22,300.
- Sandra had made a mistake recording an insurance payment. She had recorded it in the general ledger as $850 rather than the correct amount of $580 (which was the amount of the cheque sent to the insurance company).
- Two cheques totalling $4,800 that had been written and mailed by SIL had not been cashed.
- Bank service charges for the month were $90.
- A cheque for $1,760 that had been part of SIL’s deposit on February 26, 2020, was not honoured by the bank because the client had insufficient funds.
- Sandra made a deposit for $1,300 through the night deposit slot at the bank late on the evening of February 28, 2020.
- One of SIL’s customers had paid their account using an electronic funds transfer. The payment was for $2,180.
