a)Assuming no errors have occurred, the credit balance in the cash account resulted from drawing checks for $3,190 in excess of the amount of cash on deposit.

 

b)The $3,190 credit balance in the cash account as of December 31 is a liability owed to the bank. It is usually referred to as an “overdraft” and should be classified on the balance sheet as a liability.
