Expert Solution
Step 1

Bank Reconciliation is the process of reconciling the errors due to which the book balance of cash and Cash per bank balance are not equal. It is about identifying the error and make correct reconciliation either in bank balance or in cash book. 

If reconciliation is to be done  balance per book then we must ignore the total outstanding checks of $5,280 ($560 +$910+ $1,700 + $2,110) and Web Banking service fee of $6 because they are the adjustments to to the bank balance. and not to the book balance.
