Answer Details
To calculate the capital from the opening balance sheet, we need to use the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Capital From the given information, we have the following data: Assets on 31/12/98 = ₦1,500 + ₦700 + ₦500 + ₦900 + ₦200 = ₦3,800 Liabilities on 31/12/98 = ₦500 + ₦600 = ₦1,100 Using the accounting equation, we can calculate the capital as follows: Capital = Assets - Liabilities Capital on 31/12/98 = ₦3,800 - ₦1,100 = ₦2,700 Therefore, the capital from the opening balance sheet is ₦2,700.
