• Calculations:
  • Total Receipts (Debit Side) = K60000 (Opening Balance) + K80000 (Sales) = K140000
  • Total Payments (Credit Side) = K4000 (Rent) + K10000 (Purchases) + K8000 (Chileshe) + K3500 (Computer) + K2000 (Drawings) + K5000 (Purchases) + K1000 (Stationery) = K33500
  • Closing Balance (Balance c/d) = Total Receipts - Total Payments = K140000 - K33500 = K106500
