Bank reconciliation struggles, is it a bad question?

Ive done a level 3 book by Kaplan, but I still struggle a little bit with the concept and it's a short chapter.

I get; you add the outstanding and lodgements and deduct unpresented cheques, its more what to include in cash book reconciliation.




So I tried this exercise and have discovered my keyboard is waterproof as a result.

It asks for a reconciliation statement for Dec 1st, but the answer includes things from Dec 2nd.
Is this a thing I have not been made aware of?
Surely Dec 1st means Dec 1st.


in part 2 it randomly throws in an deposit difference of $1, but i dont see any way of us knowing that from the available statements?
Am i missing something?


Finally in part 3 it throws the same trick claiming a cheque is a bank error, but no indication this is the case prior to the answers.




It feels like studying with Kaplan is like being in an abusive relationship.
Am I missing anything or are the questions dodgy?

Thanks

Kyle

    I’m pretty sure this didn’t come up in mine last year. But it seems very complicated.

    The questions are not like this. In the exam assessment online there is a bank rec question. However, we covered this last year if you remember .

    Terrible pointless posts that in no way address the question.
    What a total waste of time this forum is.

    Why didn’t you ask your teacher then?

    Well I wish you the very very best of luck for solving that question yourself.
