The following information is available to reconcile Branch Company’s book balance of cash with its bank statement cash balance as of July 31, 2015. On July 31, the company Cash account has a $27,497 debit balance, but its July bank statement shows a $27, 233 cash balance. Check No. 3031 for $1,482 and Check No. 3040 for $558 were outstanding on the June 30 bank reconciliation. Check No. 3040 is listed with the July canceled checks, but Check No. 3031 is not. Also, Check No. 3065 for $382 and Check No. 3069 for $2,281, both written in July, are not among the canceled checks on the July 31 statement. In comparing the canceled checks on the bank statement with the entries in the accounting records, it is found that Check No. 3056 for July rent was correctly written and drawn for $1,270 but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $1,250. A credit memorandum (memo) enclosed with the July bank statement indicates the bank collected $8,000 cash on a noninterest-bearing note for Branch, deducted a $45 collection fee, and credited the remainder to its account. Branch had not recorded this event before receiving the statement. A debit memo for 805 lists a $795 NSF (Not Sufficient Fund) check plus a $10 NSF charge. The check had been received from a customer, Evan Shaw. Branch has not yet recorded this check as NSF. Enclosed with the July statement is a $25 debt memo for bank services. It has not yet been recorded because no previous notification had been received. Branch’s July 31 daily cash receipts of $11,514 were placed in the bank’s depository on that date but do not appear on the July 31 bank statement. Required: Prepare the bank reconciliation for this company as of July 31, 2015. Prepare the journal entries necessary to bring the company’s book balance of cash into conformity with the reconciled cash balance as of July 31, 2015.
