The ways to be adopted by Kara to avoid discrepancies when she finds her ending balance as only $506.18 which is less than she thought she had; where the bank statement is as follows:

$\begin{array}{ccccc}\text{ Date }& \text{ Transaction }& \text{ Total Deposits }& \text{ Total Checks }& \text{Ending Balance}\\ 9/1& \text{Deposit}& 2,475.00& & \\ 9/7& 1001& & 110.00& 2365.00\\ 9/7& 1000& & 900.00& 1465.00\\ 9/14& 1003& & 156.00& 1309.00\\ 9/14& 1002& & 29.49& 1279.51\\ 9/20& \text{Deposit}& 336.19& & 1615.70\\ 9/24& \text{Debit}& & 93.50& 1522.20\\ 9/24& \text{Debit}& & 25.75& 1496.45\\ 9/24& \text{Debit}& & 4.79& 1491.66\\ 9/25& 1005& & 900.00& 591.66\\ 9/25& \text{Service Charge}& & 3.00& 588.66\\ 9/25& \text{Check printing}& & 82.48& 506.18\end{array}$

And Kara’s checkbook statement is as follows:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}\text{ Check\# }& \text{ Date }& \text{ Pay to }& \text{ Memo }& \text{ Amount }& \text{ Balance }\\ \text{Deposit}& \text{9/1}& \text{Deposit}& \text{Business Loan}& \text{\$2475}& \text{\$2475}\\ \text{1000}& \text{9/1}& \text{Stephens Properties}& \text{Sept}\text{.
