Problem 1-8
BANK RECONCILIATION AND CASH SHORTAGE COMPUTATION

In connection with your audit of the Summerville Company at December 31, 2018, you were
given a bank reconciliation by a company employee which shows:

Balance per bank $ 30,534


Deposits in transit 37,856
$ 68,390
Outstanding checks 42,756
Balance per books $ 25,634

As part of your verification, you obtain the bank statement and cancelled checks from the bank on
January 15, 2019. Checks issued from January 1 to January 15, 2019, per books were $22,482.
Checks returned by the bank on January 15 amounted to $58,438. Of the checks outstanding
December 31, $9,600 were not returned by the bank with the January 15 statement, and of those
issued per books in January 2019, $7,200 were not returned.

Required:
1. Calculate the disbursements per books based on the above data.
Outstanding checks, January 15:
From December or before $ 9,600
From January 7,200 $ 16,800
Add: Disbursement per bank statement 58,438
Total $ 75,238
Less: Outstanding checks, December 31 42,756
Disbursements per book as computed $ 32,482
Disbursements per book as reported 22,482
Difference in disbursements $ 10,000
2. Suggest three possible explanations for the difference between the disbursements per books
a. The bank disbursements ($58,438) may be overstated by $10,000. Another company check for $10,000 may have been charged erroneously by the bank against the client's account.
b. The December 31 outstanding checks may be understated by $10,000. Since the bank reconciliation given in the problem was prepared by a company employee, there is no assurance that it is correct.
c. The client's employee may have failed to record check/s issued in January thus understating the book disbursements ($22,482).
