There were no other transactions in the account last year. If the closing balance of Carl's account for May of last year was $2,600, what was the range of the monthly closing balances of Carl's account last year?
(1) Last year the closing balance of Carl's account
for April was less than $2,625.

for June was less than $2,675.
