Answer:

The correct answer would be option C, $435

Explanation:

In real financial banking transactions, Debits are basically the withdrawals and credits are deposits.

Because the problem states that there was an over withdrawal on Thursday but not on Saturday, this means that the ending balance on Thursday was a negative balance. On Saturday, the remaining balance was a positive balance. 500 and 480 as a beginning balance doesn't give a negative balance on Thursday. 400 as a beginning balance gives a negative balance on Thursday as well as Saturday.

Debit Credit Balance

Sunday 435

Monday 158 277

Tuesday 69 44 252

Wednesday 175 77

Thursday 131 38 -16

25 -41 Overdraft fee

Friday 53 12

Saturday 22 14 4

So the correct answer is option C, $435
