The following information is available to reconcile Branch Company’s book balance of cash with its bank statement cash balance as of July 31.

2. Check No. 3031 for $1,160, Check No. 3065 for $356, and Check No. 3069 for $1,928 are outstanding checks as of July 31.
3. Check No. 3056 for July rent expense was correctly written and drawn for $1,240 but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $1,230.
4. The July bank statement shows the bank collected $10,000 cash on a note for Branch. Branch had not recorded this event before receiving the statement.
5. The bank statement shows an $805 NSF check. The check had been received from a customer, Evan Shaw. Branch has not yet recorded this check as NSF.
