Correcting errors revealed by a bank reconciliation.
During the bank reconciliation process at Big Guy Movers Corporation on March 3, 2013, the following errors were discovered in the firm's records:
a. The checkbook and the general journal indicated that Check 1301 dated February 18 was issued for $361 to pay for hauling expenses. However, examination of the canceled check and the listing on the bank statement showed that the actual amount of the check was $316.
b. The checkbook and the general journal indicated that Check 1322 dated February 24 was issued for $404 to pay a telephone bill. However, examination of the canceled check and the listing on the bank statement showed that the actual amount of the check was $440.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the adjusted book balance section of the firm's bank reconciliation statement. The book balance as of February 28, 2013, was $19,451. The errors listed are the only two items that affect the book balance.

Analyze: What net change to the Cash account occurred as a result of the correcting journal entries?
