After all posting was completed on October 31, the company's Cash account had a $14,280 debit balance but its bank statement showed a $31,791 balance. b. Cheques \#296 for $1,445 and \#307 for $13,815 were outstanding on the September 30 bank reconciliation. Cheque \#307 was returned with the October cancelled cheques, but cheque \#296 was not. It was also found that cheque \#315 for $967 and cheque \#321 for \$2,166, both written in October, were not among the cancelled cheques returned with the statement. c. In comparing the cancelled cheques returned by the bank with the entries in the accounting records, it was found that cheque \#320 for the October rent was correctly written for $8,100 but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $8,820. d. A credit memo enclosed with the bank statement indicated that there was an electronic fund transfer related to a customer payment for $21,835. A $130 bank service charge was deducted. This transaction was not recorded by Montrose before receiving the bank statement. e. A debit memo for $3,523 listed a $3,470 NSF cheque plus a $53 NSF charge. The cheque had been received from a customer, Jefferson Tyler. Montrose had not recorded this bounced cheque before receiving the statement. f.
