Question:

On May 31, 202X the Cash account of Perkins Supply Company had a balance of $43,820. On that date, the bank statement indicated a balance of $54,600.

The bank reported the collection of a note receivable for Perkins of $6,300 plus $300 of interest. The $1,700 cheque of a customer, Raymond Frank, was returned by the bank because of insufficient funds. The bank charged Perkins $60 for services. The bank erroneously failed to credit a $4,200 deposit to Perkins' account.

It was observed that the bank statement did not include a deposit of $4,700 made by Perkins on May 31 and that cheques totaling $13,400 issued by Perkins had not cleared the bank. Perkins recorded an insurance expense payment of $160 as $1,600.

(a) Prepare a bank reconciliation (in good form) as of May 31.

(b) Prepare, in general journal form, the entry (entries) necessary to adjust Perkins' records based on the bank reconciliation.
