Answer 1

Both requirements 1 and 2 are the same, but I guess one refers to a bank reconciliation statement and the other one to a cash account reconciliation.

Bank account reconciliation:

bank balance $9,810

+ deposits in transit $2,935

- outstanding checks 358 and 359 ($2,225)

+ check deducted by mistake $590

reconciled bank account $11,110

Cash account reconciliation:

Cash account balance $10,276

+ note and interest collected $1,320

- bank fees ($31)

- NSF check Dane Jarls ($555)

+ error on check 341 $100

reconciled cash account $11,110
