Question

Adam wrote a check for $38 to pay his monthly gas bill, but when balancing his checkbook, he accidently recorded it as a credit rather than his debit. How will his check register compare to his monthly bank statement when he receives it?

Answer 1

Answer:

76 dollars more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Adam wrote a check for $38 to pay his monthly gas bill.

Normally cheques issued would be debited to the account maintained by the customer thus making the balance less than the previous one.

If the customer had x as balance after cheque issued the balance would be x-38

This is a debit entry

But since Adam by mistake entered as credit, he would have recorded in his books balance as x+38

Thus as a result of this

Adam check register shows x+38-(x-38)

= 76 dollars more than monthly bank statement

Answer 2

It would be $76 over, I hope this helps.
