Answer 1

Option "B" is the correct answer to the following question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Owner's equity (Opening) = $35,000

Net income = $30,000

Investments by owner = $15,000

Withdrawals = $5,000.

Owner's equity (Closing) = ?

Computation of closing equity:

Owner's equity (Closing) = Owner's equity (Opening) + Net income + Investments - Withdrawals

Owner's equity (Closing) = $35,000 + 30,000 + $15,000 - $5,000

Owner's equity (Closing) = $80,000 - $5,000

Owner's equity (Closing) = $75,000
