Cevap
The balance of Ngozi's capital account as at 31st December 2025 is ₦730,000.
Under the fluctuating capital method, all capital adjustments, partner entitlements, and withdrawals are recorded directly in the Capital Account. The closing balance is calculated by summing all credit entries (Opening Capital ₦450,000 + Additional Capital ₦100,000 + Interest on Capital ₦45,000 + Salary ₦80,000 + Share of Profit ₦120,000 = ₦795,000) and subtracting all debit entries (Drawings ₦60,000 + Interest on Drawings ₦5,000 = ₦65,000), giving a closing capital balance of ₦730,000.
