Hi Luke,
‘Available’ is an adjective.
However,it’s often used after noun
・’Update Available’ = noun ＋ adjective = you can get it in use.
It means:’ The latest version updated is
available. You can apply this one to
replacement.’
How about it before noun?
For example,’Available Balance’.
・CR represents a positive Available balance.
・DR represents a negative Available balance.
When we have the Credit card which has credit limit,the phrase ‘Available Balance’ is often
used.
CR = Credit. ‘Credit’ has many meanings.
In the case, CR means that we have credit limit in use now. DR means we do not have credit limit in use now.
The point we have to remind that,it’s not
‘Credit balance’ but ‘Available balance’ in the case.
If we say ‘I have a Credit balance.’,it means ‘Positive balance’ in just the ‘Saving Accout’ as ‘Deposit’. And,its meaning is neither relative to ‘Credit card’ nor ‘Credit limit’.
Because,’Net amount’ of deposit is recorded as ‘CR'(i.e credit) in one’s A/C.
For example,if it is printed as ‘CHF
1,000,000.00CR’ at ‘Net amount CR/DR’ on a
customer copy of the receipt for deposit by cash,
it means ‘CHF 1,000,000.00’ have deposited as Net(i.e the amount that has nothing is to be taken away) amount and it recorded as CR
in one’s A/C. Then,the situation is said as
‘positive balance’.
