Example 1 Your bank statement shows a previous balance of $944.50. You make deposits of $755.50 and $210.40, and write checks for $355.50 and $125.50. You have a $3.00 service charge and earn $0.25 in interest. What is your present balance?
Example 1 Answer Step: Calculate the balance in the account. Previous + Deposits – Withdrawals – Service + Interest Balance Charges $944.50 + ($755.50 + $210.40) – ($355.50 + $125.50) – $3.00 + $0.25 $944.50 + $965.90 – $481.00 – $3.00 – $0.25 = $1,426.65
Example 2 Marissa Miller received her bank statement and cancelled checks for March. She checks her statement, shown on page 176 of your textbook. Verify her present balance.
Example 2 Answer Step: Calculate the balance in the account. Total Deposits: $240.32 + $673.08 = $913.40 Total Withdrawals: $45.78 + $137.42 + $275.81 + $52.55 + $42.98 = $554.54 Present = Previous + Deposits – Withdrawals – Service + Interest Balance Balance Charges Present Balance = $313.54 + $913.40 – $554.54 = $672.40
