Answer Details
To calculate the capital, we need to find the difference between the total assets and the total liabilities of the business. Given the information provided: Motor vehicle: D 500,000 Stock: D 35,000 Debtors: D 18,000 Cash: D 12,850 Bank overdraft: D 280,000 Creditors: D 21,500 Total Assets = Motor vehicle + Stock + Debtors + Cash = D 500,000 + D 35,000 + D 18,000 + D 12,850 = D 565,850 Total Liabilities = Bank overdraft + Creditors = D 280,000 + D 21,500 = D 301,500 Now, we can calculate the capital: Capital = Total Assets - Total Liabilities = D 565,850 - D 301,500 = D 264,350 Therefore, the capital is D 264,350.
