Question 5A – Bank Reconciliation Question ASB Ltd. received its bank statement for the month ending 30 June, and reconciled the statement balance to the 30 June balance in the Cash account. The reconciled balance was determined to be $4800. The reconciliation recognised the following items:
1. Deposits in transit were $2100. 2. Outstanding cheques totalled $3000. 3. Bank service charges shown as a deduction on the bank statement were $50. 4. An NSF cheque from a customer for $400 was included with the bank
statement. The firm had not been previously notified that the cheque had been returned NSF.
5. In dealing with the review of cheques that have been paid out, there was a cheque actually written for $890, which has been mistakenly recorded as a disbursement of $980. (Original Q: Included in the cancelled cheques was a cheque actually written for $890. However, it had been recorded as a disbursement of $980.)
Part A: What was the balance in ASB Ltd’s cash account before recognising any of the above reconciling items? (Show all the necessary steps.) Solution approach: Set up a bank reconciliation in the usual format, enter the known
information, and then work backwards to solve for the beginning balances in the company’s Cash account and on the bank statement.
Indicated balance (per books) $ 5160 Less: NSF cheque (400) Bank service charge (50) Reconciled balance $4 800 Balance per Cash account before reconciliation = $4 800 – 90 + 400 + 50 = $5 160 Key: To solve for the beginning (i.e., indicated) balances, the effects of reconciling items must be reversed out of the known ending (i.e., reconciled) balances. Part B: What was the balance shown on the bank statement before recognising any of the above reconciling items? (Show all the necessary steps.) Indicated balance (per bank) $ 5700
