Solution of Question No 18 Chapter No 8: –

So to solve this question first we have to prepare the working Note shown as below:

To Calculate the amount of capital we should use the following formula.

“Capital = Total Assets – Total Liabilities”

To apply this formula we have to recognize the assets and liabilities accounts first. This is shown below: –

Name of Accounts	Type of Account	Debit/ Credit	Reason of Debit/Credit
Cash A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have a debit balance.
Cash at Bank A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have a debit balance
Bills Receivable A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have a debit balance
Jai Ram A/c	Asset	Debit	Any account which has a debit balance will be treated as an Asset.
Ram Kumar A/c	Asset	Debit	Any account which has a debit balance will be treated as an Asset.
Office Furniture A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have a debit balance
Stock in Trade A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have a debit balance
Doulat Ram A/c	liability	Credit	Any account which has a credit balance will be treated as a Liability.
Hari Ram A/c	liability	Credit	Any account which has a credit balance will be treated as a Liability.
Bills Payable A/c	liability	Credit	All Liabilities are always had a Credit balance

Note: You did not need to prepare above table in the exam, Because this is just for your understanding.

Total Assets = 11200+257600+68800+16000+48080+52800+416000

Total Assets = 8,70,480/-

Total Liabilities = 174720+216960+80000

Total Liabilities = 4,71,680/-

So,

Capital = 8,70,480 – 4,71,680

Capital = 3,98,800/- Ans.
