Solution

The appropriate treatment on the bank reconciliation would be to:

  1. Identify the discrepancy: In this case, the discrepancy is of 9(9 (354 - 345=345 = 9).

  2. Determine the error: The error is on the company's books where the cheque is incorrectly recorded as 345insteadof345 instead of 354.

  3. Correct the error: Add $9 to the balance according to the company's books to match the actual amount of the cheque that was paid by the bank.

So, in the bank reconciliation statement, you would add 9tothebookbalancetocorrecttheerror.Thisisbecausethebankhaspaidmore(9 to the book balance to correct the error. This is because the bank has paid more (354) than what the company has recorded (345).Therefore,thecompanysbookbalanceislessthanwhatitshouldbe,andyouneedtoincreaseitbythedifference(345). Therefore, the company's book balance is less than what it should be, and you need to increase it by the difference (9).
