I was doing the examples and I felt i needed more practise so I asked ChatGPT to make other problems and when i gave it the answers to check it said it was incorrect and solved it with this formula : Drawings = (Ending Net Assets + Additional Capital Introduced – Starting Net Assets) – Profit. Now i know the formula provided in the lecture notes is diffrent but how do i solve the problems? Example of the problems:
Exercise 4:
Starting Net Assets = $70,000
Ending Net Assets = $80,000
Additional Capital Introduced = $5,000
Drawings = $7,000Calculate the Profit for the year.
or
Exercise 5:
Starting Net Assets = $90,000
Ending Net Assets = $110,000
Additional Capital Introduced = $20,000
Profit = $12,000Calculate the Drawings during the year.
my answer for the exercise 4 was 12 000 but chat GPT kept insisting on 8000. Answer of exercise 5 was 12 000 but chat said it was $28,000.
What do I do ? I am soo confused
Exercise 4: Rearranging that formula to solve for profits looks correct.
Drawings = (Ending Net Assets + Additional Capital Introduced – Starting Net Assets) – Profit
Rearrange that to get:Profit = (Ending Net Assets + Additional Capital Introduced – Starting Net Assets) – Drawings
Passing the values into the formula:
Profit = $80,000 + $5,000 – $70,000 – $7,000 = $85,000 – $77,000 = $8,000Exercise 5, using the formula as it’s given:
Drawings = (Ending Net Assets + Additional Capital Introduced – Starting Net Assets) – Profit
= $110,000 + $20,000 – $90,000 – $12,000 = $130,000 – $102,000 = $28,000IntrepidLearner: Thank you for answering the question.

Your answers to both the questions are in fact not correct!
Asja: Your answers to both of the questions are correct
For example 4:
Increase in net assets = 10,000 = capital introduced + profit – drawings
10,000 = 5,000 + Profit – 7,000Profit = 10.000 – 5,000 + 7,000 = 12,000
For example 5:
Increase in net assets = 20,000 = capital introduced + profit – drawings
20,000 = 20,000 + 12,000 – drawingsDrawings = 12,000
Obviously we cannot guarantee that the AI will always be correct (and it also depends on how the question was entered). However I will check and try and teach it to do better
