Required:

1. Prepare a bank reconciliation as of July 31. If errors in recording deposits or checks are discovered, assume that the errors were made by the company. Assume that all deposits are from cash sales. All checks are written to satisfy accounts payable. When required, enter amounts in dollars and cents.

Feedback

Set up two sections: one for the bank balance and the other for the company cash account. Determine the effect of the data on each section. Recall that when you are finished, the adjusted balances in the bank and company sections of the reconciliation must be equal. If not, an item has been overlooked or treated in error. Recall that the company's cash account balance is updated for any items in the company section of the bank reconciliation.

2. Journalize the necessary entries (a.) that increase cash and (b.) that decrease cash. The accounts have not been closed. When required, enter amounts in dollars and cents. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

2. Keep in mind that the company needs to journalize any adjusting items in the company section of the bank reconciliation, because these have not been previously recorded by the company. Debit memo items like bank service charges decrease Cash. Items that come from credit memos like collections of notes or interest by the bank increase cash. If the company made an error that overstates or understates cash in the company section, the journal adjustment would decrease Cash or increase Cash, respectively.

4. Errors should be added or deducted from the bank or company section of the reconciliation depending on the nature of the error. If the bank made the error, the bank section would be adjusted. Subtract to obtain the difference between the correct and incorrect amounts. Has the bank overstated or understated the Cash balance in their records?
