Question

Sam put $350 that he received as a birthday gift in his checking account. Where in his checkbook register should he write this amount?

Answer 1

Sam should write it under the deposit column because he deposited said amount in his bank account. Every deposit, cash or check deposit, increases the monetary value of Sam's checking account. Every check issuance of Sam will decrease the monetary value of his checking account, it must be written under the withdrawal column.
