Looking at the bank statement, we need to find the closing balance as of 30 December 2018.
The statement shows:
- Statement Period: 1 Jul 2018 - 30 Dec 2018
- Closing Balance: $401.22 CR
This means that at the end of the statement period (30 December 2018), the account had a credit balance of $401.22.
Let me verify this by checking the transaction history:
Starting balance on 01 Jul: $1,384.89 CR
Then we have these transactions:
- 01 Jul: Debit interest charged -$0.11 → Balance becomes $1,384.78 CR
- 02 Jul: Transfer out -$372.00 → Balance becomes $1,012.78 CR
- Jul: Transfer in +$43.80 → Balance becomes $1,056.58 CR
- 02 Jul: Direct Debit -$25.00 → Balance becomes $1,031.58 CR
- 02 Jul: Loan Repayment -$280.00 → Balance becomes $751.58 CR
- 03 Jul: Petstock -$32.99 → Balance becomes $718.59 CR
- 03 Jul: Woolworths -$134.26 → Balance becomes $584.33 CR
- 03 Jul: IGA -$30.00 → Balance becomes $554.33 CR
- 03 Jul: Post office -$47.57 → Balance becomes $506.76 CR
- 03 Jul: Five Star Music -$50.00 → Balance becomes $456.76 CR
- 03 Jul: Post office -$55.65 → Balance becomes $401.11 CR
Wait, there's a slight discrepancy here. The last transaction shows $55.65 debit, which would make the balance $401.11, but the statement says $401.22 CR.
Looking more carefully at the statement, I see that the final balance listed is indeed $401.22 CR, and this matches what's shown in the "Closing Balance" section at the top of the statement.
The small difference might be due to rounding or additional transactions not fully visible in the transaction list, but the official closing balance stated on the document is $401.22 CR.
Final Answer:
$401.22 CR
