You have to get the bank balance of $4,200 into agreement with the company's balance of $2,800 by either adding to or subtracting from the bank balance or company's balance the items #1 through #7. You do this by determining where the item came from. In other words who knows about the item. For example number 1 the bank is telling you so you have to either add to or subtract the amount from the company's balance. Number 2 is from the company so you will have to either add to or subtract from the bank balance. You need to do this for all items.

The balance after the reconciliation for the bank balance and the company's balance should be $3820

After the reconciliation you will need to do adjusting entries for the items that you had to either add to or subtract from the company's balance.
