Assuming all the investments realized ₦4m, what will be the endig fund balance?

Awọn alaye Idahun
The total value of investments is given as ₦3m in the extract. However, assuming all investments are sold for ₦4m, this means there will be a gain of ₦1m. This gain will increase the Fund balance, which is part of the Capital of the organization. Thus, the new Fund balance will be the previous Fund balance (₦11m) plus the gain from the investments (₦1m), giving a new Fund balance of ₦12m. Therefore, the ending Fund balance will be ₦12m. Option (c) is the correct answer.
