On August 1, 2019, the accountant for Western Imports downloaded the company's July 31, 2019. Bank statement from the bank?s Website. The balance shown on the bank statement was $28,750. The July 31, 2019, balance in the Cash account in the general ledger was $14,183. Jenny Irvine, the accountant for Western Imports, noted the following differences between the bank's records and the company's Cash account in the general ledger:
a. An electronic funds transfer for $14,300 from Foncier Ricard, a customer located in France, was received by the bank on July 31.
b. Check 1422 was correctly written and recorded for $1,200. The bank mistakenly paid the check for $1,240.
c. The accounting records indicate that Check 1425 was issued for $69 to make a purchase of supplies. However, the examination of the check online showed that the actual amount of the check was for $99.
