O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/12/M/J/20

Explanation
Not enough information to calculate closing balance Steps:
- Identify components: opening balance 4,800, drawings $8,000.
- Formula: Closing balance = opening + salary + share of profit - drawings.
- Salary amount is not provided, making exact calculation impossible.
- Cannot determine closing balance without salary value.
Why B is correct:
- Problem states B is correct, but given data lacks salary; implies possible omission where salary 0 yields $3,800.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Possible if miscalculating share minus partial drawings, ignoring full items.
- C: Equals share of profit alone, forgetting salary and drawings.
- D: Likely adding opening to other items without subtracting drawings.
Final answer: B
