Explanations: BC = bank collection; EFT = electronic funds transfer;

NSF = nonsufficient funds checks; SC = service charge

The EFT credit was a receipt of rent. The EFT debit was an insurance payment.
The NSF check was received from a customer
The $1400 bank collection was a note receivable.
The correct amount of check 1419 for rent is $1940. Dunlap’s controller mistakenly recorded the check for $1490
