Answer 1

Answer:

$43,745

Explanation:

Calculation for what the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be

Using this formula

Ending Capital Balance = Cash (1)+ Photography equipment (2) +Cash for services provided (4)+Services to customers on account (6)- Monthly rent(7)- Utility (9)

Let plug in the formula

Ending Capital Balance = $13,800 + $23,000 + $6,000 + $3,050 - $1,800 - $305

Ending Capital Balance= $43,745

Therefore the balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be: $43,745
