I STARTED BUT I AM NOT SURE WHATS CORRECT

Bank Reconciliation and Entries

The cash account for Brentwood Bike Co. at May 1 indicated a balance of $13,930. During May, the total cash deposited was $70,330 and checks written totaled $65,300. The bank statement indicated a balance of $23,840 on May 31. Comparing the bank statement, the canceled checks, and the accompanying memos with the records revealed the following reconciling items:

Checks outstanding totaled $10,620.

A deposit of $8,650, representing receipts of May 31, had been made too late to appear on the bank statement.

The bank had collected for Brentwood Bike Co. $4,570 on a note left for collection. The face of the note was $4,220.

A check for $360 returned with the statement had been incorrectly charged by the bank as $630.

A check for $630 returned with the statement had been recorded by Brentwood Bike Co. as $360. The check was for the payment of an obligation to Adkins Co. on account.

Bank service charges for May amounted to $70.

A check for $1,050 from Jennings Co. was returned by the bank because of insufficient funds.
