    Finding the Opening Capital Balance
    Given the following accounts for the year ended 31/12/06:

    Trade Receivable - 8,000
    Trade Payable - 7,000
    Cash At Bank - 82,000
    Stationary Expense - 700
    Telephone Expense - 500
    Motor Car - 30,000
    Accumulated Depreciation - 3,000
    Cost of Goods Sold - 39,000
    Rent Expense - 16,500
    Sales - 129,000
    Wages Expense - 15,000
    Prepaid Insurance - 2,600
    Closing Inventory (31/12/06) - 32,000

    And the following additional information:

    1. December 2006 Rent expense of 1,500 was paid in January 2007
    2. The prepaid insurance account represents insurance paid for thirteen months from 1/1/06 to 31/01/07
    3.Depreciation expense of $3,000 is to be provided for the year ended 31/12/06

    How do I calculate the opening capital balance as at 1/1/06?

    There are several parts to this questions which I am able to do(Income Statement & Balance Sheet, but I just can't seem to get the opening capital balance.)

    Thanks!
