A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/M/J/25

Explanation
Not enough information to calculate owner's capital Steps:
- List all given items: non-current assets (amount unspecified), long-term loan 39,000 (part of current assets), trade payables 32,000.
- Calculate known liabilities: long-term loan + trade payables = 27,000 = $77,000.
- Note profit adds to owner's capital, but requires beginning capital and/or full assets/liabilities for ending balance.
- Apply accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Capital), but total assets incomplete without non-current and full current asset figures.
Why B is correct:
- Cannot confirm; insufficient data prevents verifying any option per balance sheet equation.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Ignores need for full assets/liabilities; profit alone isn't ending capital.
- C: No basis for $97,000 without additional asset details.
- D: No basis for $114,000 without additional asset details.
Final answer: Not enough information.
