A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/24
Question 14 from 9706/11/M/J/24

Explanation

Partnership current account reconstruction reveals opening credit balance Steps:

  • Record drawings as debit $4000 to current account.
  • Calculate interest on drawings balance: 5% of 4000=4000 = 4000=200 debit.
  • Record profit share as credit $4750.
  • Net effect: 4750credit−4750 credit - 4750credit−4000 debit - 200debit=+200 debit = +200debit=+550 to balance.
  • Opening balance = closing credit 4500−net+4500 - net +4500−net+550 = $3950 credit.

Why A is correct:

  • Not applicable; calculation shows credit balance, contradicting assumed debit.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B, C, D: All assume debit but math yields credit $3950; insufficient info for debit.

Not enough information. Final answer: Not enough information.
