Question:
At December 31, 2019, the Cash account in the Tyler Company’s general ledger had a debit balance of \($18,434.27\). The December 31, 2019, bank statement showed a balance of \($19,726.40\). In reconciling the two amounts, you discover the following:
1. Bank deposits made by Tyler on December 31 amounting to \($2,145.40\) do not appear on the bank statement.
2. A non-interest-bearing note receivable from the Smith Company for \($2,000\), left with the bank for collection, was collected by the bank at the end of December. The bank credited the proceeds, less a \($5\) collection charge, on the bank statement. Tyler Company has not recorded the collection.
3. Accompanying the bank statement is a debit memorandum indicating that John Miller’s check for \($450\) was charged against Tyler’s bank account on December 30 because of insufficient funds.
4. Check No. 586, written for advertising expense of \($869.10\), was recorded as \($896.10\) by Tyler Company.
5. A comparison of the paid checks returned by the bank with the recorded disbursements revealed that the following checks are still outstanding as of December 31:
