Crane Company is a very profitable small business. It has not, however, given much consideration to internal control. For example, in an attempt to keep clerical and office expenses to a minimum, the company has combined the jobs of cashier and bookkeeper. As a result, Bret Turrin handles all cash receipts, keeps the accounting records, and prepares the monthly bank reconciliations. The balance per the bank statement on October 31, 2020, was $18,300. Outstanding checks were No. 62 for $160.20, No. 183 for $180, No. 284 for $255.25, No. 862 for $200.70, No. 863 for $239.00, and No. 864 for $174.90. Included with the statement was a credit memorandum of $94.60 indicating the collection of a note receivable for Daisey Company by the bank on October 25. This memorandum has not been recorded by Daisey. The company’s ledger showed one Cash account with a balance of $21,950.00. The balance included undeposited cash on hand. Because of the lack of internal controls, Bret took for personal use all of the undeposited receipts in excess of $4,070.00. He then prepared the following bank reconciliation in an effort to conceal his theft of cash.

(Hint: Deduct the amount of the theft from the adjusted balance per books.) (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75. List items that increase cash balance first. Reconcile cash balance per bank first.)
