Peterson Company

Bank Reconciliation

At May 31

Particulars                                                                                            $      

Cash book balance yet to be reconciled                                     7,420

Less:

NSF check                                                                                        (170)

Service fee                                                                                        (60)  

Adjusted cash balance at May 31                                                7,190  

Since in each of the Adjusted bank statement balance at May 31 and the Adjusted cash balance at May 31 is equal to $7,190, it implies that the correct ending balance of cash on May 31 is $7,190.
