Branson Co. received its bank statement for the month ending May 31, 2019, and reconciled the statement balance to the May 31, 2019, balance in the Cash account. The reconciled balance was determined to be $6,372.

Interest credited to Branson Co.'s account but not recorded on the company's books amounted to $40. Returned with the bank statement was a "debit memo" stating that a customer's check for $631 that had been deposited on May 23 had been returned because the customer's account was overdrawn. During a review of the checks that were returned with the bank statement, it was noted that the amount of check No. 681 was $970 but that in the company's records supporting the Cash account balance, the check had been erroneously recorded in the amount of $130. Required:Prepare the Bank reconciliation statement for the month ending May 31, 2019. (Total the entries of the same account together, when entering in the bank reconciliation statement.)
