As the owner of a sporting goods store, you manage the accounting records. Your delivery van has been in the shop for repairs and you need it back as soon as possible. The mechanic calls with the repair cost, which is much higher than you expected. Your checking account cannot cover the bill, but you authorize the work anyway. If you write a check for the repairs, you believe the account will have enough money when the mechanic cashes the check.
