Correcting errors revealed by a bank reconciliation.
During the bank reconciliation process at Albert Company on May 2, 2010, the following two errors were discovered in the firm’s records.
a. The checkbook and the general journal indicated that Check 2104 dated April 15 was issued for $600 to make a cash purchase of supplies. However, examination of the canceled check and the listing on the bank statement showed that the actual amount of the check was $12.
b. The checkbook and the general journal indicated that Check 2147 dated April 20 was issued for $190 to pay a utility bill. However, examination of the canceled check and the listing on the bank statement showed that the actual amount of the check was $239.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the adjusted book balance section of the firm’s bank reconciliation statement. The book balance as of April 30 was $20,275. The errors listed above are the only two items that affect the book balance.
2. Prepare general journal entries to correct the errors. Use page 11 and date the entries April 30, 2010. Check 2104 was correctly debited to Supplies Expense on April 15, and Check 2147 was debited to Utilities Expense on April 20.
Analyze: If the errors described had not been corrected, would net income for the period be overstated or understated? By what amount?
