Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is $ 6200.

Explanation: We must start from the $ 8000 bank balance, to which we will add the outstanding deposits of $ 4000 and finally we will subtract the $ 5800 to arrive at the correct cash balance in the Mooner Sooner balance at the end of the year.

Therefore 8000 + 4000 - 5800 = $ 6200.
