Additional Information Check No. 5904 is correctly drawn for $2,080 to pay for computer equipment; however, the record- eeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debit to Computer Equipment and a credit to Cash of $2,050. The NSF check shown in the statement was origi- naHy received from a customer, S. Nilson, in payment of her account. Its return has not yet been recorded by the company.
