A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/21

Explanation
Correcting drawings from selling price to cost price Steps:
- Selling price of goods taken for personal use is $150.
- With 50% markup on cost, cost price = 100.
- Drawings were debited 100, overstating drawings by $50.
- Capital balance understated by 300 + 350.
Why D is correct:
- Drawings for goods taken must be at cost price per accounting standards for sole traders, adjusting capital by the markup difference ($50).
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Adds $125 excess, possibly double-counting markup and another amount.
- B: Adds full $150, treating error as no drawings at all.
- C: Adds $100, mistakenly adjusting by full cost instead of overstatement difference.
Final answer: D
