Dear Sir, Will the Drawings of inventory Affect the Owners Capital?

Yes – all drawings whether cash or inventory will reduce the final capital figure on the SOFP.
I stress this in one of the first of my free lectures!!

How come? Purchases will b Credited Which Increases Profit and will Increase Capital.. Secondly Drawings ll b debited which decrease Capital.. So how come it decreases Capital?

OK – the net effect will be zero, but they are two separate things.
Drawings themselves always reduce the capital.
Correcting the purchases figure will indeed increase the profit and hence the capital.
