Given:Opening capitaL................₦7 000

Additional capital.............₦3 500

Net............................₦2 500

Closing........................₦10 250The drawings for the period stand at?

Answer Details
To find out the drawings for the period, we need to calculate the difference between the opening capital and the closing capital, while taking into consideration any additional capital introduced during the period. The calculation is as follows: Opening capital + Additional capital - Drawings = Closing capital Substituting the given values, we have: ₦7,000 + ₦3,500 - Drawings = ₦10,250 Solving for Drawings, we get: Drawings = ₦7,000 + ₦3,500 - ₦10,250 = ₦10,500 - ₦10,250 = ₦250 Therefore, the amount of drawings for the period is ₦250. Option C - ₦2500 is incorrect as it is the value of the net, not the drawings. Option D - ₦2570 is also incorrect as it is neither a given value nor the correct calculation.
