Explanation / Answer

I.

$2,400.

II.

The control account to not agree with the subsidiary ledger.

Not mentioning subsidiary ledger accounts will not have any impact on assets or income as they are affected by control accounts.

III.

Addition to the balance as per bank.

This error has been made in the bank statement and the balance as per book shows correct state. The check wrongly deducted from our account shall be added to the balance as per bank to bring it to correct state.

IV.

The federal reserve district

V.

Net pay = $5,000 * (6.2% + 1.45%) - $300 - $40 = $4617.50 - $340 = $4277.50
