2. changes to The ‘Capital’ Account

3. Our Capital Account is made up of:
Revenue
Expenses
Drawings

4. Where else do we see Revenue and Expenses?
The Income Statement!
Revenue
Expenses
= Net Income (Net Loss)

5. There is a connection: Beginning Capital + Net Income - Drawings
= Ending Capital

6. The Balance Sheet
The Balance Sheet is where we usually see the Owner’s Equity section. (And where the Capital account is listed.)
In order to make sure it is up to date, we must reflect the changes to Capital (ie. the changes to Revenue, Expenses, Drawings) of that amount!

7. To find our new Capital amount:
we must calculate:
Beginning Capital
+ Revenue
- Expenses
- Drawings
= Ending (our new) Capital
Net Income or (Loss)
** Please write this down. **

8. Example 1 Capital at the beginning of the year is $4000.
Net Income for the year is $1000.
Drawings is $0.
How much is the Capital account at the end of the year?

9. Example 2 Owner’s equity at the beginning of the year is $20,000.
Revenue for the year is $20,000.
Expenses are $5,000.
Drawings are 5,000.
What is the owner’s equity (capital) at the end of the year?

10. Example 3 Capital starts the year at $100,000
There is a net loss of $40,000
There are drawings of $10,000
What is the Capital account at the end of this fiscal period?
