(iii) The bank imposed a service charge of $65
(iv) A cheque no 6666 issued on July 24 for a water bill amounting to $3,350 was wrongly entered in the cash payment journal as $3,530. The amount was correctly shown as $3,350 in the bank statement.
(v) A check amounting to $120 was received from customer ABC on July 15 and deposited a day after. However, due to insufficient funds in Mr. ABC’s account, the bank informed Company Axes that the dishonored cheque had been debited to Company Axes.
