Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning capital = $80,000

Net income = $35,000

Drawings = $18,000

Net income is added to opening capital and deduct drawings to arrive at capital balance at the end.

Capital at the end of the year = opening capital + net income - drawings

                                                 = 80,000 + 35,000 - 18,000

                                                 = $97,000
