Capital
R
Balance at 1 May 20.3 300 000
Total comprehensive income for the year 31 270
Drawings (40 000)
Balance at 30 April 20.4 291 270

(4) From 1 January 20.4 until 30 April 20.4 = 4 months.

Therefore R1 200 ÷ 4 = R300 per month

(5) P : is the principal amount invested

R : is the interest rate per year
T : is the time in years

Time = Interest
PxR
= R5 200
R80 000 x 0,13
= R5 200
R10 400
= 0,50 years
= 6 months

The investment was thus made on 1 November 20.3.

(6) Mark-up percentage on cost = Gross profit x100%

Cost of sales
= R148 830 x 100%
R249 670
= 59,61%
