Solution

Unfavorable balance in the bank column of cash book means credit balance. This is also known as overdraft. This means the balance is negative and the account is overdrawn. In other words, we have taken a loan from the bank as the bank allowed us to withdraw money from the bank even when the balance in our account was zero.
