Solution of Question No 19 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 recognise the assets and liabilities accounts first. This is shown below: –

Name of Accounts	Type of Account	Debit/ Credit	Reason of Debit/Credit
Stock in Trade A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have debit balance.
Bills Payable A/c	Liability	Credit	B/P is Liability for the business So, All Liabilities are always have Credit balance
Cash at Bank A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have debit balance
Plant & Machinery A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have debit balance
Qwing by debtors (Sundry Debtors)	Asset	Debit	All assets always have debit balance
Owing to creditors (Sundry Creditors)	Liability	Credit	All Liabilities are always have Credit balance
Investment A/c	Asset	Debit	All assets always have debit balance
Loan From S.K. Garg	Liability	Credit	All Liabilities are always have Credit balance

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

Total Assets = 288000+216000+120000+60000+240000

Total Assets = 9,24,000/-

Total Liabilities = 48000+96000+180000

Total Liabilities = 3,24,000/-

So,

Capital = 9,24,000- 3,24,000

Capital = 6,00,000/- Ans.
