On March 31, 2019, Home Decorating Pavilion received a bank statement with an ending balance of $9,750. The balance in the firm's checkbook and Cash account on the same date was $10,290.

(The check was issued by Dane Smithey, a credit customer.) -The firm's records indicate that Check 341 of March 1 was issued for $900 to pay the month's rent. However, the canceled check and the listing on the bank statement show that the actual amount of the check was $800. -The bank made an error by deducting a check for $560 issued by another business from the balance of Home Decorating Pavilion's account. Instructions: 1. Prepare a bank reconciliation statement for the firm as of March 31, 2019. 2. Record entries for any items on the bank reconciliation statement that must be journalized. Date the entries March 31, 2019. Use page 4 of a general journal.
