A comparison of returned checks and bank advices revealed the following: Deposits in transit July 31 amounted to $4,650.03. Outstanding checks July 31 totaled $1,908.27. The bank erroneously charged a $422.50 check of Solomon Company against the Sullivan bank account. A bank service charge has not yet been recorded by Sullivan Company of $32.50.
