11y ago#1At the start of the week, the capital = net assets = 15700 - 11200 = 4500.
Over a period, the increase in net assets = capital introduced + profit - drawings. (If you need help on this then watch the free lecture that covers Chapter 2 of our Lecture Notes).
During the week, 1 May has no effect (more assets and more liabilities).
2 May - capital introduced, so net assets increase
3 May - more expense so less profit. Net assets decrease.
5 May - drawings, so net assets decrease.
7 May - profit of 1200 - 600 = 600, so net assets increase.
So the increase in net assets = 1400 - 750 - 400 + 600 = 850
So net assets at the end of the week = 4500 + 850 = 5350
So capital at the end of the week = 5350.
