Serial Problem Business Solutions LO P3

Santana Rey receives the March bank statement for Business Solutions on April 11, 2020. The March 31 bank statement shows an ending cash balance of $68,266. The general ledger Cash account, No. 101, shows an ending cash balance per books of $68,825 as of March 31 (prior to any reconciliation). A comparison of the bank statement with the general ledger Cash account, No. 101, reveals the following.

1. The bank erroneously cleared a $580 check against the company account in March that S.Rey did not issue. The check was actually issued by Business Systems.
2. On March 25, the bank statement lists a $43 charge for the safety deposit box. Santana has not yet recorded this expense.
3. On March 26, the bank statement lists a $105 charge for printed checks that Business Solutions ordered from the bank. Santana has not yet recorded this expense.
4. On March 31, the bank statement lists $35 interest earned on Business Solutions’s checking account for the month of March. Santana has not yet recorded this revenue.
5. S. Rey notices that the check she issued for $134 on March 31, 2020, has not yet cleared the bank.
6. S. Rey verifies that all deposits made in March do appear on the March bank statement.

Required:

1. Prepare a bank reconciliation for Business Solutions for the month ended March 31, 2020.
