Question

Ferdinand wrote a check for $96 to pay his monthly cable bill, but when balancing his checkbook, he accidentally recorded it as a credit rather than as a debit. How will his check register compare to his monthly bank statement when he receives it?

Answer 1

The balance in his check register will be $192 over the balance on his bank statement.
2*96 = 192

Answer 2

$192 is over in his check-register.

Explanation:

Ferdinand wrote a check to pay his monthly cable bill = $96.00

He accidentally recorded it as a credit in his check register rather than as a debit.

When he receives his bank statement he found his bank statement balance is less than his check register, he should compare it by debiting twice of the cable bill from balance of his check register.

96 × 2 = $192

Ferdinand would compare his check register to his monthly bank statement by subtracting $192 form his balance of check register.
