1. Bank service charges and debit and credit card processing fees for the month were $58.
2. A cheque in the amount of $532 from one of Sheridan's customers that had been deposited during the last week of October was returned with the bank statement as "NSF."
3. Cheque #3421, which was a payment for utilities expenses, had been correctly written for $790 but had been incorrectly recorded in the general ledger as $628.

5. During the month, the bank collected a $1,840 note receivable plus the outstanding interest of $166 on behalf of Sheridan. The interest had already been accrued by Sheridan.
6. The cash receipts for October 31 amounted to $5,292 and had been deposited in the night deposit chute at the bank on the evening of October 31. These were not reflected on the bank statement for October.
