    Jansen Company's checking account balance 24,320

    minus cahs receipts - 2,390 minus bank service charges - 43 plus uncollected checks + 1,940

    Bank statement balance 23,827

    Explanation:

    Starting from the company's balance in its bank checking account, we subtract the deposit not taken into account by the bank and the expenses not taken into account by the company and add the checks pending collection since they have been subtracted by the company in their general ledger, but they have not been charged to the bank yet. That gives us the balance in the bank statement.
