Exercise 8-14 Bank reconciliation LO P3 Wright Company's cash account shows a $30,500 debit balance and its bank statement shows $28,800 on deposit at the close of business on May 31. The May 31 bank statement lists $250 in bank service charges; the company has not yet recorded the cost of these services. Outstanding checks as of May 31 total $7,100.
