We can use the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Capital We have the values for Liabilities and the total Assets, which is the sum of Current assets and Fixed assets. Assets = Current assets + Fixed assets = ₦20,300 + ₦64,500 = ₦84,800 Now we can rearrange the equation to solve for Capital: Capital = Assets - Liabilities = ₦84,800 - ₦23,700 = ₦61,100 Therefore, the capital introduced by the proprietor is ₦61,100.
