After a consultation with a customer, a __ is used to provide details and costs of goods and services.

• A. Balance sheet
• B. Estimate form
• C. Receipt
• D. Order form

Answer: (B)

In pricing and project planning, after a consultation with a customer, the estimate form is used to present a detailed breakdown of the proposed work and its costs. It typically lists each service or product, quantities, unit prices, subtotals, any discounts, taxes, and the total project price, along with terms and a timeline. This helps the customer see exactly what is included and decide before committing, and it serves as a basis for agreement or a later change order if the scope shifts. A balance sheet reflects the business’s financial position and isn’t used to present service pricing. A receipt records payment after the sale. An order form is used to place an order for items but doesn’t usually outline a detailed cost estimate for a whole project.
