This assessment addresses the following course objective(s):

Record various business transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

In this assignment, we will learn how to reconcile a bank account. Bank reconciliation is a key internal control function to ensure all cash transactions are correctly recorded, but it can also detect some irregularities when performed monthly.. On December 31, Surat's Warehouse received a bank statement containing a balance of $19,500. The balance in the firm's checkbook and Cash account on the same date was $20,580. The difference between the two balances is caused by the items listed below.

a. A $5,750 deposit made on December 30 does not appear on the bank statement.

b. Check 1312 for $970 issued on November 29 and Check 1375 for $3,300 issued on December 30 have not yet been paid by the bank.

c. A credit memorandum shows that the bank has collected a $2,200 note receivable and interest of $220 for the firm.

d. A service charge of $50 appears on the bank statement.

e. A debit memorandum shows an NSF check for $1,050. (The check was issued by R. Donnelley, a credit customer.)

f. The firm's records indicate that Check 1316 of December 1 was issued for $1,800 to pay the month's rent. However, the canceled check and the listing on the bank statement show that the actual amount of the check was $1,600.

g. The bank made an error by deducting a check for $1,120 issued by another business from the balance of the account of Designer's Warehouse.
