Madison Company most recently reconciled its bank statement and book balances of cash on August 31

and it reported two checks outstanding, No. 5888 for $1,089 and No. 5893 for $542. The following information

is available for its September 30, 2009, reconciliation.

Additional Information

Check No. 5904 is correctly drawn for $2,073 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 $2,037. 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 $1,640 note for Madison Company by the bank. The bank

deducted a $22 collection fee. The collection and fee are not yet recorded.

Required

1. Prepare the September 30, 2009, bank reconciliation for this company.

2. Prepare the journal entries to adjust the book balance of cash to the reconciled balance.

Analysis Component

3. The bank statement reveals that some of the prenumbered checks in the sequence are missing. Describe

three situations that could explain this.
