Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate Monday's balance
Starting with $252.00, subtract Monday's debit of $114.60 and add the credit of $150.00. So, $252 - 114.60+150=287.40$.
Step2: Calculate Tuesday's balance
Take Monday's balance of $287.40$ and subtract Tuesday's debit of $79.68$. So, $287.40 - 79.68 = 207.72$.
Step3: Calculate Wednesday's balance
Take Tuesday's balance of $207.72$ and subtract Wednesday's debit of $161.39$. So, $207.72-161.39 = 46.33$.
Step4: Calculate Thursday's balance
Take Wednesday's balance of $46.33$ and subtract Thursday's debit of $57.40$. So, $46.33-57.40=-11.07$. Since the balance is negative on Thursday, this is the first - day she would get an overdraft fee.
Answer:
b. Thursday
