Question

Florence Company received a bank statement showing a balance of $13,550 on November 30, 2019. During the bank reconciliation process, Florence’s accountant noted the following bank errors:

A check for $265 issued by Florentine, Inc., was mistakenly charged to Florence Company’s account.

Check 2782 was written for $200 but was paid by the bank as $1,200.

Check 2920 for $85 was paid by the bank twice.

A deposit for $580 on November 22 was credited by the bank for $850.
