Using the accounting equation:
Closing net assets – opening net assets = profit + capital introduced – drawings
Therefore, 95100 – opening net assets = 35400 + 10200 – 6000 = 39600
So opening net assets (which equals opening capital) = 95100 – 39600 = 55500yoke93

Yes – there are 12 months in a year and so 500 a month is 6000 in a year
