Sure! Let's go through each part of the question step-by-step.

### 1.1.1 Amount Brought Forward in Words
The amount brought forward in the bank statement is R678.00. Writing this amount in words:
Answer:
Six Hundred Seventy-Eight Rand

### 1.1.2 Funiswa’s Bursary Fund Deposit
To find out how much Funiswa's bursary fund deposited in the account, we need to consider the final balance after all transactions and calculate backward:

1. Initial balance: R678.00
2. Subtract debits:
- Monthly account fee: R33.50
- Medical aid: R550.00
- ATM - Sparga: R300.00
3. Add credits:
- Cash Deposit: R150.00
- MD Electronics: R5800.00

Given that the final balance after all transactions is R5744.50 (determined after calculating all debits and credits), the deposit contributed by Funiswa’s bursary fund is:

Answer:
R5800.00

### 1.1.3 Calculating A (the balance after all transactions)
To determine the balance after all transactions (denoted as A in the problem), we calculate it step-by-step:

Initial Balance:
R678.00

Subtract Debits:
- Monthly account fee: 678.00 - 33.50 = 644.50
- Medical aid: 644.50 - 550.00 = 94.50
- ATM - Sparga: 94.50 - 300.00 = -205.50

Add Credits:
- Cash Deposit: -205.50 + 150.00 = -55.50
- MD Electronics: -55.50 + 5800.00 = 5744.50

Hence, the final balance after all these transactions:

Answer:
R5744.50

### 1.2 Difference in Deposit Fees at ATM and Branch
To verify John’s claim about the difference in deposit fees when depositing R5000 either at an ATM or a branch, we must calculate the fee for both methods:

ATM Deposit Fee:
- Base fee: R4.80
- Additional percentage fee: 1.2% of R5000 = 0.012 5000 = R60.00
- Total ATM fee: R4.80 + R60.00 = R64.80

Branch Deposit Fee:
- Base fee: R8.00
- Additional percentage fee: 1.5% of R5000 = 0.015 5000 = R75.00
- Total Branch fee: R8.00 + R75.00 = R83.00

Difference:
- Branch fee: R83.00
- ATM fee: R64.80
- Difference: R83.00 - R64.80 = R18.20

John's claim about the difference being R18.20 is verified.

Answer:
The difference in depositing R5000 at an ATM and at a branch is indeed R18.20.
