Bank Reconciliation statement:

Bank's cash balance = Per bank statement + Deposits outstanding - Checks outstanding

= $22,346 + $1,725 - $1,300

= $22,771

Therefore, bank balance per reconciliation is $22,771.

Company's cash balance = Per general ledger - service fees

= $22,810 - $39

= $22,771

Therefore, company balance per reconciliation is $22,771.
