Hi Mr Moffatt! Please help me with this one
Mauritz Co is preparing a bank reconciliation. The bank balance in the general ledger is $540
credit. There are two items that have not yet been dealt with.
1 A cheque for $620 was sent to a supplier but is not yet showing on the bank statement.
2 A bank charge of $28 was charged by the bank, but was not recorded by Mauritz Co.
What is the closing balance on Mauritz Co’s bank statement?
A $1,132 overdrawn
B $1,188 overdrawn
C $52 cash at bank
D $108 cash at bank
ans is C,
I know the answer to this is C but I do not understand why the check issued to a supplier counts as an outstanding lodgement. Doesn't that suggest the money in fact is paid to our bank instead of the other way around? I thought we can use a check to pay suppliers?
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Mauritz Question, Bank Reconciliation, what counts as an outstanding lodgement?
The cheque issued to the supplied is not an outstanding lodgment. It is an unpresented cheque (which is why the bank statement shows a higher balance than the ledger (in this case a positive balance instead of an overdraft)).
