Chavez Company most recently reconciled its bank statement and book balances of cash on August 31 and it reported two checks outstanding, No. 5888 for $ 1,028.05 and No. 5893 for $ 494.25. The following information is available for its September 30, 2013, reconciliation.
Additional Information
Check No. 5904 is correctly drawn for $ 2,090 to pay for computer equipment; however, the recordkeeper misread the amount and entered it in the accounting records with a debit to Computer Equipment and a credit to Cash of $ 2,060. The NSF check shown in the statement was originally received from a customer, S. Nilson, in payment of her account. Its return has not yet been recorded by the company. The credit memorandum is from the collection of a $ 1,500 note for Chavez Company by the bank. The bank deducted a $ 15 collection fee. The collection and fee are not yet recorded.
