Expert Solution
Step 1

Capital is the amount invested by the owner into the business to carry the business activities. 

Profits at the end of the year will be added to the capita. In case of losses the same has to be adjusted to the capital.

During the year owner may Withdraw amount from business in order to meet personal expenses. Drawings reduces the Capital balance.

Closing capital = Opening Capital +/- Profit / losses - Drawings.

At any point of time capital is the difference between Assets and Liabilities 

CAPITAL = ASSETS - LIABILITIES
