Q:

What is reconciliation?

Answer

You should have recorded in your cash books all amounts you?ve actually received and payments you?ve actually made. However, the cash books may be incomplete as your bank may have put extra transactions through your account, such as:

bank fees or interest charges
direct debits (payments) and direct credits (receipts).
Doing a regular bank reconciliation will allow you to:

take into account any extra transactions your bank puts through your account, and
check and record any errors or omissions.
By regularly doing a bank reconciliation (say monthly) you can be more confident that your records contain all the information you need to prepare your income tax return and activity statements.

Q:

Saving accounts usually offer ___ interest rates than checking accounts.

A) Higher B) Lower
C) Equal D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Higher

Explanation:

A savings account is the most basic type of account at a bank or credit union, allowing you to deposit money, keep the funds safe, and withdraw funds as needed. Savings accounts typically pay interest on your deposits, which helps you grow your money, but rates are relatively low on these low-risk accounts.


A checking account is a deposit account held at a financial institution that allows withdrawals and deposits. Also called demand accounts or transactional accounts, checking accounts are very liquid and can be accessed using checks, automated teller machines and electronic debits, among other methods.

 

Hence, Saving accounts usually offer higher interest rates than checking accounts.
