The bank erroneously deducted $344.77 from the company's account when the actual amount of a check written by the company was $324.77. The company erroneously recorded a check it wrote for $478.08 as $748.08. The company recently made a $618.01 deposit that has not yet been reflected on the bank statement. The bank collected a $490.00 note receivable, plus $9.00 in interest, which has not been recorded in the company's records. Bank service charges of $14.00 have been assessed to the company's account. There are two checks outstanding (not yet appearing on the bank statement) that were written for $795.33 and $532.49. A $518.48 check from one of the company's customers, Phil Conners, was returned by the bank because of insufficient funds (NSF) in the customer's account.
