Closing Owner's Equity = Owner's equity at the beginning + Fresh capital introduced + Profit - Amount withdrawn

Closing Owner's Equity = 21000 + 7000 + 12000 - 13000

= 21000 + 7000 + 12000 - 13000

= 21000 + 7000 + 12000 - 13000

= Rs. 27000

Single entry system is suitable for small businesses because they neither want to engage in the complexities of double-entry system nor do they have enough money to install a double-entry system of accounting.

An incomplete accounting system is one that does not follow the principles of double-entry accounting, where each transaction affects at least two accounts.

A statement of affairs is a financial statement that summarizes the assets and liabilities of a business or individual at a specific point in time. It provides an overview of the financial position by listing all assets owned and all liabilities owed. This statement is useful in cases such as bankruptcy, liquidation, or when transitioning from one accounting system to another.

Drawings = (Capital in the beginning + Profit made during the year + Capital introduced during the year) - Capital at the end

Substituting the values:

Drawings = (16000 + 6000 + 8000) - 26000

= (16000 + 6000 + 8000) - 26000

= 30000 - 26000

= Rs. 4000

Closing Capital = Opening Capital + Profit during the year + Capital introduced during the year - Drawings

Closing Capital = 70000 + 20000 + 20000 - 7000

= 70000 + 20000 + 20000 - 7000

= 110000 - 7000

= Rs. 103000

Debtors on April 01,2005 = Rs. 50,000

less: Discount allowed= Rs.1,000

less: Bills receivable = Rs.30,000

Closing capital = Opening capital + Net income – Drawings 

• The Opening Capital represents the owner's equity at the start of the period.
• Net Income (or Profit) represents the increase in owner's equity due to the business's operations during the period.
• Drawings represent any withdrawals made by the owner, which decrease owner's equity.
• Adding the Net Income and subtracting the Drawings from the Opening Capital gives us the Closing Capital, which represents the owner's equity at the end of the period.
