		None of the other answers

Answer 1

For calculation of owners equity balance we need to calculate first we need to calculate net profit or loss from the sales

so to calculate that first we need to deduct all the expenses from sales

Net Profit/ (loss) from slaes= Sales reveune-gas exp-salary exp-utilities exp-miscellaneous exp

=3000-700-4500-900-400

loss=(3500)

As the questions says there have been drawings from the Ms. xian's of $700 that had to be deducted from the owner's equity and Ms. Xian's has also brought back that $1000 thst has not been recoreded that should be added back to owner's equity

therefore the balance in owner's equity will be

=$50000-$700+$1000

=$50300

therefore we need to calculate owner equity at the end of the month therefore we need to transfer the loss from the resturant to the owner's equity therfore the owner's equity balance at the end of the month is

=50300-3500(loss)

=46800*

* the above answer has been calculated assuming that the truck was purchased at the end of the month so no depreciation has been charged
