per bank of $$6,450.$ The company's Cash account in the general ledger had a balance of

$$5,659$ at $30$ November. Other information is as follows:

amount does not appear on the bank statement.

The bank statement shows a debit memorandum for $$95$ for bank administration fees.

Cheque No$.119$ payable to Burns Company was recorded in the cash payments journal

and cleared the bank for $$248.$ A review of the accounts payable subsidiary ledger

shows a $$36$ credit balance in the account of Bums Company and that the payment to

them should have been for $$284.$

The total amount of cheques still outstanding at $30$ November amounted to $$3,175.$

journal reflects an entry for Cheque No$.142$ as a debit to Accounts Payable and a credit

to Cash in Bank for $$680.$
