Answer 2

Answer:

$313.18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cal Johnson has an account balance of $325.

          He finds two outstanding checks for amount $53.58 and $20.24.

           There is also an outstanding deposit of $62

Solution : Cal Johnson has an account balance of $325.

Since he has outstanding checks of amount $53.58 and $20.24.

When his outstanding checks amount gets deducted from the account then the new account balance will be :

$325 - $53.58 - $20.24 = $251.18

So, after the deduction of outstanding check amounts new account balance is $251.18.

Now, there is also an outstanding deposit of amount $62

So, after the deposition of that amount new account balance will be :$251.18 + $62 = $313.18.

Thus the adjusted account balance is $313.18.
