Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Bank - side reconciliation
Start with bank statement balance. Add deposits in transit and subtract outstanding checks. Cash balance from bank statement = $87,000 Add: Deposit in transit = $1,600 Less: Outstanding checks = $1,400 Adjusted cash balance (bank - side) = $87,000 + $1,600 - $1,400=$87,200
Step2: Company - side reconciliation
Start with company's book balance. Add note and interest collected and interest earned. Subtract service charge, NSF check and correct the error in check recording. Cash balance from company records = $82,670 Add: Note and interest collected = $4,780 Interest earned = $110 Less: Service charge = $20 NSF check = $390 Error correction ($610 - $560) = $50 Adjusted cash balance (company - side) = $82,670+4,780 + 110-20 - 390-50=$87,200
Step3: Adjusting journal entries
Record bank service charge
Debit: Bank Service Charge Expense $20 Credit: Cash $20
Record interest
Debit: Cash $110 Credit: Interest Revenue $110
