Cash deposit

Overdraft fee
Correct Answer
A. Overdraft feeExplanation
The given question asks to identify which of the options is not a credit. A credit refers to an addition of funds to an account. Both interest earned and cash deposit are examples of credits as they increase the balance in an account. However, an overdraft fee is a charge imposed when a customer withdraws more money than is available in their account, resulting in a negative balance. Therefore, an overdraft fee is not a credit, but rather a fee or charge imposed by the bank.Rate this question:

A. Interest gainedExplanation
Interest gained is not a debit because it represents the money earned on an investment or savings account.

However, interest gained represents an increase in assets, as it adds to the overall value of the account. Therefore, interest gained is not a debit.Rate this question:
