Amy wrote a check for $32 to pay her monthly electricity bill, but when balancing her checkbook, she accidentally recorded it as a credit rather than as a debit. How will her check register compare to her monthly bank statement when she receives it?

Her check register will have a surplus of 64 dollars compared to her actual balance.
example
100 +32 = 132 (incorrect)
100 -32 = 68 (correct)
132 -68 = 64 surplus

Answer:

Amy's check register will show a change of $64 in her monthly bank statement.

Explanation:

Amy writes $32 mistakenly as her credit in her check register, but it was a debit value.

So, when the monthly bill will come, the bank statement will show $64 less than her check register.

The check register will have $64 amount more credit as she was to debit $32 but she credited $32 more.

That becomes
32+32=64 dollars.

Hence,the check register will show more money than the bank statement.
