Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Balance c/d = net profit + profit and loss - ( goodwill + ordinary share + preference share)
= (90,000 + 10,000) - ( 1000 + 25000 + 7500)
= 100,000 - 33500
= ₦66500
Balance c/d = net profit + profit and loss - ( goodwill + ordinary share + preference share)
= (90,000 + 10,000) - ( 1000 + 25000 + 7500)
= 100,000 - 33500
= ₦66500
