O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/11/M/J/25

Explanation
Incomplete Records Profit Calculation Steps:
- Recall the capital equation: Closing capital = Opening capital + Profit + Capital introduced - Drawings.
- Rearrange for Profit: Subtract Opening capital, Capital introduced, and add Drawings from Closing capital.
- Apply the formula: Profit = Closing capital - Opening capital + Drawings - Capital introduced.
- Verify against choices to identify the matching option.
Why B is correct:
- It directly follows the rearranged capital equation, where drawings reduce capital (so add back) and capital introduced increases it (so subtract).
Why the others are wrong:
- A subtracts drawings (should add) and subtracts capital introduced (correct, but overall wrong).
- C adds both drawings and capital introduced (should subtract capital introduced).
- D subtracts drawings (should add) and adds capital introduced (should subtract).
Final answer: B
