O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/11/M/J/25
Question 28 from 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
