Preparing the Balance Sheet - Establishing the Liabilities - Owners Capital
The first section of "Liabilities" represents the owner. Select the capital figure from the trial balance. Also check to see if the owner has made any drawings which would reduce his capital. Finally select the profit or loss for the period.
Capital is increased by the net profit generated in the trading period, if there is a loss capital would be reduced by the loss figure.
