  • Capital = Assets – Liabilities (as per the Accounting Equation)
  • Capital at 1 June = Total Assets at 1 June + Total Liabilities at 1 June i.e. -£200 = £2,300 + (-£2,500)
  • Capital at 30 June = Capital at 1 June + Capital introduced during June + Net profit earned during June – Drawing during June i.e. -£200 +£5,000 + £1,000 – £700 = £5,100
