I have choice B) as my answer. 

So is the cash overdraft a current asset account?  I've never seen a cash overdraft account in a balance sheet before, but I've always thought it would be a liability account, or at least in the bank's perspective.

It is tricky wording my friend!

The $30,000 of checks were recorded/written on June 29 and resulted in a $10,000 overdraft, but the checks were not mailed until July 9.  The overdraft means that they only had $20,000 in their checking account.  It does not mean that they paid/accrued an overdraft fee.

As of the
June 30, 1992 Balance Sheet date, they have $20,000 in Cash.

That's my best guess anyways.  Upon reading it, I knew that there was something fishy about the "overdraft" and the date the checks were mailed.  It made me question, how can an account be overdrafted before the checks are even sent out?

Thanks for the clarification ael719, I thought I was going crazy when I thought cash overdraft is, all of the sudden, a current asset!
