Activity based costing (ABC) assigns manufacturing
overhead costs to products in a more logical manner than

How to Book Returned and Postdated Checks


To avoid mis-postings—and liability for another employee's
misdeeds—follow these simple steps:

Returned checks. When the bank notifies you that it is returning a
customer’s check for NSF (not sufficient funds), debit the customer’
s account immediately—even if you plan to redeposit the check the
same day. For good internal controls, instruct your bank to address
all returned checks to someone other than you—possibly the
owner or a senior manager. This can protect you if an employee
tries to use fictitious checks to cover temporary shortages.

Postdated checks. If a customer gives you postdated checks, treat
them as a note receivable. In other words, debit it to Notes
Receivable, not to Cash. On the date written on the check, deposit
it to your firm’s account, debiting Cash and crediting Notes
Receivable.
