Which amount is generally written first while preparing a capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Opening capital

Direct answer: Option A, opening capital. A capital account records the partner’s capital in the firm. The opening capital is the amount already standing at the beginning of the accounting period, so it is the natural starting figure. Step by step: first write the opening balance; then add items that increase the partner’s claim, such as additional capital, salary, interest on capital and profit share; finally subtract drawings, interest on drawings and loss share. Option A is correct because it is the beginning balance. Option B, closing capital, is the amount calculated at the end, so it cannot normally be the first figure. Option C, bank charges, are an expense and are not the opening balance. Option D, goodwill value, is recorded only when the relevant adjustment is required, not automatically as the first item. Memory cue: opening balance comes first; closing balance is found after adjustments.
