LWA trader's net profit
12y ago#1Why is this in F4?
Your option B above cannot have been copied correctly! Opening capital + d - CI - opening capital? Surely it should read:
Closing capital + drawings - capital introduced - opening capital
The basic equation is:
opening capital + capital introduced + profit - drawings = closing capital
Rearranging:-
profit = closing capital + drawings - capital introduced - opening capital
Check that you have copied the question correctly!
