Additional Information

The NSF check shown in the statement was originally received from a customer, S. Nilson, in payment of her account. Its return has not yet been recorded by the company. The credit memorandum is from the collection of a $ 1,500 note for Chavez Company by the bank. The bank deducted a $ 15 collection fee. The collection and fee are not yet recorded.
