Diagnostic evidence

What you were actually asked, what you answered, and how it was scored.

  • A business has assets of HK$80,000 and liabilities of HK$30,000. What is the capital, and what happens to it if the owner withdraws HK$5,000 cash?

    92%

    Your answer: Capital is HK$50,000 (80,000 − 30,000). A HK$5,000 withdrawal is drawings: assets fall to HK$75,000 and capital falls to HK$45,000. Liabilities are unchanged.

    Strong answer — the key points are all there.
