debit balance // negative balance


Explanation:
saldo = cantidad positiva o negativa que resulta de una cuenta.
saldo = balance
"balance" is used both in Spanish and English.
-saldo acreedor o deudor = credit/debit/negative balance
-saldo a favor o positivo = favourable/positive balance
En este caso la cantidad requerida es 50.000 y la ofertada 40.700, luego el saldo es negativo porque faltan 9.300.
Un saludo
