Problem 7-14 (Algo) Bank reconciliation and adjusting entries [Appendix 7A]

El Gato Painting Company maintains a checking account at American Bank. Bank statements are prepared at the end of each month. The November 30, 2021, reconciliation of the bank balance is as follows:

Balance per bank, November 30 $ 3,361
Add: Deposits outstanding 1,330
Less: Checks outstanding
#363 $ 136
#365 214
#380 69
#381 99
#382 220 (738 )
Adjusted balance per bank, November 30 $ 3,953


The company’s general ledger checking account showed the following for December:

Balance, December 1 $ 3,953
Receipts 43,950
Disbursements (43,153 )
Balance, December 31 $ 4,750


The December bank statement contained the following information:

  Balance, December 1 $ 3,361
  Deposits 44,300
  Checks processed (43,218 )
  Service charges (35 )
  NSF checks (570 )
  Balance, December 31 $ 3,838


The checks that were processed by the bank in December include all of the outstanding checks at the end of November except for check #365. In addition, there are some December checks that had not been processed by the bank by the end of the month. Also, you discover that check #411 for $620 was correctly recorded by the bank but was incorrectly recorded on the books as a $260 disbursement for advertising expense. Included in the bank’s deposits is a $2,600 deposit incorrectly credited to the company’s account. The deposit should have been posted to the credit of the Los Gatos Company. The NSF checks have not been redeposited and the company will seek payment from the customers involved.

Required:
1. Prepare a bank reconciliation for the El Gato checking account at December 31, 2021.
2. Prepare any necessary adjusting journal entries indicated.
