Question 1
a) Opening Balance Sheet
An individual starts a retail company selling dresses with an initial investment of Rs. 250. The funds are
used to purchase 5 dresses for Rs. 200 (each dress costing Rs. 40) that will be resold for Rs. 75 each. The
company issues stock to reflect the investment.
Cash 50
Inventory 200
Total Liabilities 0
Earned Capital 0
● Cash: Rs. 50
(Initial cash of Rs. 250 minus Rs. 200 used to purchase inventory)
● Inventory: Rs. 200
(Cost of 5 dresses purchased at Rs. 40 each)
Since the company issues stock to reflect the investment, the Rs. 250 invested by the individual is
recorded under "Contributed Capital (Equity)" on the opening balance sheet. This entry represents the
owner's equity in the company resulting from their investment. The issuance of stock increases the equity
section by Rs. 250, balancing the increase in assets (cash and inventory) from the investment and
purchase of inventory. This ensures that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) holds,
with total assets of Rs. 250 equal to total liabilities and equity of Rs. 250.
Gross Profit 70
Expenses 50
Net Income 20
Cash 150
Inventory 120

(Beginning Cash Rs. 100 + Collected Receivables Rs. 100 - Paid Payables Rs. 50 - Salaries Rs.
100)
● Accounts Receivable: Rs. 500
(Beginning Receivables Rs. 200 + New Sales Rs. 400 - Collections Rs. 100)
● Inventories: Rs. 200
(Beginning Inventory Rs. 400 - COGS Rs. 200)
● Accounts Payable: Rs. 250
(Beginning Payables Rs. 300 - Payments Rs. 50)
● Earned Capital (Retained Earnings): Rs. 400
(Beginning Retained Earnings Rs. 300 + Net Income Rs. 100)
