2. Returned by the bank in December and recorded by the company in December, P25,000. 3. Returned by the bank in November and recorded by the company in December, P1,000. A bank credit memo dated December 27, 2012 was received by Malaber stating that the companys account was credited for the net proceeds of a note for P8,060. This is not yet recorded in the books. A check of Malabey Company amounting to P9,292 was charged to the company account by the bank in error on December 30. The company has hypothecated its accounts receivable with the bank under an agreement whereby the bank lends the company 80% of the hypothecated accounts receivable. The company performs accounting and collection of the accounts. Adjustments of the loan are made from daily sales reports and deposits. The bank credits the company account and increases the amount of the loan for 80% of the reported sales. The loan agreement states specifically states that the sales report must be accepted by the bank before the company is credited. Sales reports are forwarded by the company to the bank on the first day following the date of sales. The bank allocates each deposit 80% to the payment of the loan, and 20% to the company account. Thus, only 80% of each days sales and 20% of each collection deposits are entered in the bank statement. The company accountant records the hypothecation of new accounts receivable (80% of sales) as a debit to Cash and a credit to the Bank Loan as of the date of sales. One hundred percent of the collection on accounts receivable is recorded as cash receipt; 80% of the collection is recorded in the cash disbursements books as a payment on the loan. In addition with the hypothecation, the following information were discovered: 1. Collection on accounts receivable deposited in December, other than deposits in transit, totaled to P4,800,000. 2. Included in the undeposited collections is cash from the hypothecation of accounts receivable. Sales were P162,000 on November 30, and P169,000 on December 31, the balance was made up from collections of P128,440 which was entered in the books in the manner indicated above. For the month of December, the interest on the bank loan amounting to P24,560 was charged by the bank against the account of Malaber. This was not recorded in the books.

Prepare a four-column proof of cash of the cash receipts and cash disbursements recorded on the bank statement and on the companys books for the month of December 2012. The reconciliation should agree with the cash figure that will appear in the companys financial statements. Thereafter, determine the following: 1. Cash balance as of November 30. 2. Cash balance as of December 31. 3. Book receipts for December 31. 4. Book disbursements for December 31. 5. Cash shortage at December 31, if theres any.
