Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. $90,000$

When firms are not maintaining full fledged accounts on the basis of double entry system, profits are calculated by comparing the capital at the beginning of the year and capital at the end of the year.

Capital at the beginning of the year+Addition of capital+Profit for the year-Drawings during the year=Capital at the end of the year.

In the given case:

Rs.80000+Rs.20000+Rs.25000-Rs.35000 =Rs.90000

Hence capital at the end of the year is Rs.90000.
