Solution Steps

To solve this problem, we need to prepare journal entries based on the bank reconciliation items provided. For each item, determine if an adjustment is needed in the accounting records:

  1. Outstanding Checks: These are already recorded in the books but not yet cleared by the bank, so no journal entry is needed.
  2. Bank Service Charge: This needs to be recorded as an expense in the books.
  3. Error in Recording Check No. 919: Correct the error by adjusting the Utilities Expense and Cash accounts.
  4. Deposits in Transit: These are already recorded in the books but not yet reflected in the bank statement, so no journal entry is needed.
Step 1: Analyze the Bank Service Charge

The bank service charge of \$50 needs to be recorded as an expense. This requires a debit to the Bank Service Charge Expense account and a credit to the Cash account.

Step 2: Correct the Error in Recording Check No. 919

Check No. 919 was recorded incorrectly. It was recorded as \$298 instead of the correct amount of \$289. The error is \$298 - \$289 = \$9. To correct this, we need to:

  • Debit the Cash account by \$9 to increase it back to the correct amount.
  • Credit the Utilities Expense account by \$9 to decrease it to the correct amount.

Final Answer

The necessary journal entries are:

  1. Bank Service Charge:

    • Debit: Bank Service Charge Expense \( \$50 \)
    • Credit: Cash \( \$50 \)
  2. Correction of Check No. 919:

    • Debit: Cash \( \$9 \)
    • Credit: Utilities Expense \( \$9 \)

\[ \boxed{ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Transaction} & \text{General Journal} & \text{Debit} & \text{Credit} \\ \hline \text{b. Bank Service Charge} & \text{Bank Service Charge Expense} & 50 & 0 \\ \hline \text{b. Bank Service Charge} & \text{Cash} & 0 & 50 \\ \hline \text{c. Correction of Check No. 919} & \text{Cash} & 9 & 0 \\ \hline \text{c. Correction of Check No. 919} & \text{Utilities Expense} & 0 & 9 \\ \hline \end{array} } \]
