Answer:
1. The heading should be “June 30, 2014,” and not “For the Month Ended June 30, 2014.”

2. The outstanding checks should be deducted from the balance per bank.

3. The deposit of June 30, not recorded by the bank, should be added to the balance per bank.

4. Service charges should be deducted from the balance per company’s records.

5. The error in recording the June 17 deposit of $7,150 as $1,750 should be added to the balance per company’s records.
