    For bank reconciliation, I can't figure out the deposit in transit amount and outstanding check amount.

    Mario Tizani Company's bank statement from Last National Bank at August 31, 2005, shows the following information.

    Balance, August 1 $17,400
    August deposits 73,110
    Checks cleared in August 69,660
    Balance, August 31 25,932
    Bank credit memoranda:
    Collection of note receivable plus $90 interest $5090
    Interest earned 32
    Balance, August 31 25,932
    Safety deposit box rent 40



    A summary of the Cash account in the ledger for August shows: Balance,August 1, $16,900; receipts $77,000; disbursements $73,570; and balance,August 31, $20,330. Analysis reveals that the only reconciling items on the July 31 bank reconciliation were a deposit in transit for $4,000 and outstanding checks of $4,500. The deposit in transit was the first deposit recorded by the bank in August. In addition, you determine that there were two errors involving company checks drawn in August: (1) A check for $400 to a creditor on account that cleared the bank in August was journalized and posted for $420. (2) A salary check to an employee for $275 was recorded by the bank for $278.

    Instructions
    (a) Prepare a bank reconciliation at August 31.
