Answer 1

bank balance $845.43

check balance $247.62

check for $85.00 - recorded twice in register, check for $138.11 was recorded as $183.11, deposit of $368 and a purchase for $81.10 were not recorded in the register. Withdrawal of $50, interest of 0.82 were not recorded. outstanding checks: $191.22

$23.87, $15. 

Bank Balance = $845.43

Checking Balance = $247.62

+$85.00 (check recorded twice)

+$45.00 (check recorded as $183.11 should have been $138.11) ($183.11 - $138.11 = $45.00 gain)

+$368.00 (deposit not previously recorded)

-$81.10 (purchase not previously recorded)

-$50.00 (withdrawal not previously recorded)

+$ .82 (interest gained but not previously recorded)

+$215.24 (outstanding checks $191.22 + 23.87 + 15.00)
