To find the current account balance, we will start with the initial account balance and adjust it by adding or subtracting the transactions.

Starting balance:

  • Initial account balance = $986.24

Now let's process each transaction:

  1. Car payment (subtract):
    $986.24 - $203.34 = $782.90

  2. Gas bill (subtract):
    $782.90 - $96.67 = $686.23

  3. Check deposit (add):
    $686.23 + $1289.60 = $1975.83

  4. Cash deposit (add):
    $1975.83 + $45 = $2020.83

  5. Debit card transaction (subtract):
    $2020.83 - $67.12 = $1953.71

  6. ATM withdrawal (subtract):
    $1953.71 - $30 = $1923.71

After processing all transactions, the current account balance is $1,923.71.

So the correct answer is: C) $1,923.71
