Answer:

$61.65

Explanation:

Ending Balance = $ 546.78

Outstanding Deposit = $412.39

After the deposits the new balance =$ 546.78+$412.39

=$959.17

Now There are outstanding checks of amount $872.63

So, after the clearance of outstanding checks .

The new balance = $959.17-$872.63

=$86.54

Now She need to pay a telephone bill of amount $148.19

So, she need additional money in her account to pay the telephone bill:

=$148.19-$86.54

=$61.65

Hence she need $61.65 in her account to pay the telephone bill.

The ending balance and outstanding checks are both negative in the book of accounting. The positive item she had is only the outstanding deposits. We let x be he amount she will need in order to pay for her telephone bill and that,
148.1 = x + 412.39 - (546.78 + 872.63)
From the equation above, the value of x is 1155.12. Thus, she needs an additional amount of approximately $1155.12 to pay for her telephone bill.
