Althea writes a check to Handy Dan's Home Repair for $59.75 to cover the cost of having a window repaired in her home and gives the check to
Dan, the owner of Handy Dan's Home Repair. Dan alters the check by changing the amount to $559.75. Dan then takes the check to Home Federal
Savings and Loan, the bank on which the check is drawn, and cashes the check. This, of course, results in an extra $500 being withdrawn from
Althea's account. Home Federal Savings and Loan will be responsible for:
issuing a stop payment order on the check.
debiting Althea's account $559.75, the entire amount of the check.
debiting Althea's account for nothing. Because the check was altered, Althea is not entitled to any reimbursement.
debiting Althea's account $500.
