Answer:
a. Debit Teresa's Capital account for $770,000; and Credit Teresa's Drawing account for $770,000.
b. Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period is $$1,955,000
Explanation:
a. Journalize the entry required to close the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account.
Since the drawing will affect capital by reducing it, the journal entry will look as follows:
<u>Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($) </u>
Teresa's Capital account 770,000
Teresa's Drawing account 770,000
<em><u>(To record the closing the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account.) </u></em>
b. Determine the amount of Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period.
To do this, we have to calculate the net profit first as follows:
Net profit = Total revenue - Total cost = $3,190,000 - $2,350,000 = $840,000
Since net profit will increase capita while drawing will reduce capital, we therefore have:
Capital at the end of the period = Capital + Net profit - Drawing = $1,885,000 + $840,000 - $770,000 = $1,955,000.
Therefore, Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period is $$1,955,000.
