BASE OFF OF THE INFORMATION, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME SET UP A T-TABLE?

 

Sheridan Company is a very profitable small business. It has not, however, given much consideration to internal control. For example, in an attempt to keep clerical and office expenses to a minimum, the company has combined the jobs of cashier and bookkeeper. As a result, Bret Turrin handles all cash receipts, keeps the accounting records, and prepares the monthly bank reconciliations.

The balance per the bank statement on October 31, 2020, was $17,920. Outstanding checks were No. 62 for $160.20, No. 183 for $191, No. 284 for $275.25, No. 862 for $211.40, No. 863 for $232.00, and No. 864 for $182.60. Included with the statement was a credit memorandum of $116.00 indicating the collection of a note receivable for Daisey Company by the bank on October 25. This memorandum has not been recorded by Daisey.

The company’s ledger showed one Cash account with a balance of $21,910.00. The balance included undeposited cash on hand. Because of the lack of internal controls, Bret took for personal use all of the undeposited receipts in excess of $4,400.00. He then prepared the following bank reconciliation in an effort to conceal his theft of cash.
