a) What check numbers, including amounts, are recorded in the book disbursement column that are not
recorded in the bank disbursement column? Check No. 775 for P 1,500; Check No. 777 for P 4,010. Take
note that Check No. 776 for P 2,410 is the additional information number 3. See explanation in (2c).

What do your call these checks? These are outstanding checks at December 31, 2020. These are checks
already recorded as issued by the book but not yet paid by the bank during the month of issuance.

Which accounting book will make an adjustment for this account? Bank record will make the adjustment by
deducting the total outstanding checks of P 5,770 (P 1,500 + P 4,010 + P 260)) from its unadjusted ending
balance.

b) What check numbers, including amounts, are recorded in the bank disbursements column that are not
recorded in the book disbursements column? Check No. 768 for P 1,120.

What do your call these checks? This is Deposit in Transit at November 30, 2020 or at December 1, 2020.
This check is recorded as company’s book disbursement last month of November but only paid by the bank
this month of December.

Which accounting book will make an adjustment for this account? This is not included in the single date
bank reconciliation of December, 2020 but included as bank adjustment in two-dates bank reconciliation
called Proof of Cash.

c) What other items other than those mentioned in number (2b), including amounts, are recorded in the bank
disbursements column that are not recorded in the book disbursements column? What do your call these
items? Which accounting book will make an adjustment for this account?

1) Check No. 776 for P 2,140. This is the additional information number 3. This refers to BOOK ERROR
because it is the company book that commits the mistake. The correct disbursement is P 2,140 instead
of P 2,410. Therefore, the book disbursement is overstated by 270 (P 2,410 – P 2,140). In effect, the
cash in bank balance is understated by the same amount. The book will be adjusted by adding P 270 to
its unadjusted ending balance.

2) Check No. 1042 for P 860. This is the additional information number 2. This refers to BANK ERROR

18 | P a g e
Far Eastern University
Institute of Accounts. Business and Finance
Department of Accountancy and Internal Auditing

because it is the bank that commits the mistake. This is the check of another
company but charged (or deducted or debited) to 24/7 Grocery Store. Therefore, the total disbursement
of the company is overstated in total. In effect, the bank ending balance is understated. The bank will
adjust this by adding P 860 to unadjusted ending bank balance. The correction is supported by a BANK
CREDIT MEMO because the bank will make a credit entry to increase the bank ending balance of the
checking account (which is a liability)

3) NSF Check. This is the additional information number 5. This is supported by BANK DEBIT MEMO
because the bank debit your account to reverse the original entry they made during their receipt of this
check as deposit. The book of the company will be adjusted to reflect the non-collection of this check
which, on the other hand, it originally recorded as debit to Cash upon collection from customer. The
adjustment by the book is to decrease its unadjusted book balance of cash.

4) The service charge of P 50 is supported by a BANK DEBIT MEMO because the bank charged or
debited your account to collect the service charges. This is a book adjustment because this amount
should be deducted from the unadjusted book ending balance to reflect the bank deduction in the
company’s accounting records.

3. Prepare a bank reconciliation statement as of December 31, 2020 using the adjusted balance method.

Notes:
1. Compute the book receipts for September 2020 by applying workback procedure. P 229,600 + P 179,790 – P
197,500 = P 211,890.

2. Compute the bank disbursements for September 2020. P 241,200 + P 180,080 – P 248,200 = P 173,080.

3. NSF Check:
a) The NSF check of P 3,800 is for August. This means, this check was returned and recorded as
disbursement by bank last August but not recorded by the book in August. Therefore, the book
disbursement during August is understated while the book ending balance is overstated. To adjust, the book
balance as of August 31 will be reduced by P 3,800. This NSF check was only recorded by the book during
September as its disbursement. In effect, September book disbursement is overstated by P 3,800. To
adjust, the book disbursement for September will be reduced by the same amount.

b) The NSF check of P 8,000 is for September. This means, this check was returned and recorded as
disbursement by bank this September but not recorded by the book in September because the company
was only informed in October upon receipt of bank statement for the month of September. Therefore, the
book disbursement during September is understated while the book ending balance is overstated. To adjust,
the book disbursement balance for September will be increased by P 8,000. In effect, the book ending
balance will decrease by the same amount.

4. Outstanding checks:
a) Outstanding check at August 31
