Question

Yardworx reconciled its book balance of Cash with its bank statement balance on April 30 and showed two cheques outstanding at the time, #1771 for $15463 and # 1780 for $955.65.

The following information is available for May 31, 2020 reconciliation:

From May 31, 2020 bank statement:

Cheque #1788 was correctly written for $985.65 to pay for May utilities however, the bookkeeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debt to Utilities expenses and credit to Cash as though it were for $895.65. the bank paid ad deducted the correct amount.
The NSF cheque was originally received from a customer, Gertie Mayer, in payment of her account. Its return was unrecorded.
The credit memo resulted from $5300 electronic fund transfer for the collection of a customer payment. The bank had deducted a $100 bank service charge fee. The collection has not been recorded in the company books.

Required:

Prepare reconciliation for yardworxs
Prepare the general journal entries needed to adjust the book balance of Cash to the reconciled balance.

Analysis: the preceding bank statement discloses two places where the cancelled cheques returned with the bank statement are not numbered sequentially. In other words, some of the prenumbered cheques in the sequence are missing. Several possible situations would explain why the cancelled cheques returned with a bank statement might not be numbered sequentially. Describe three possible reasons that this might occur.
