Drawings of ₦20,000 was made
The opening capital of ₦40,000 was invested
Beauty was paid a salary of ₦90,000
Cash shortage of ₦30,000 was recorded
Correct answer is C
The calculation for closing capital is as follows:

Closing Capital = ₦40,000 + ₦50,000 + ₦40,000 - ₦20,000 - ₦30,000
Closing Capital = ₦140,000 - ₦20,000 - ₦30,000
Closing Capital = ₦140,000 - ₦50,000
Closing Capital = ₦90,000
Therefore, the closing capital for Beauty would be ₦90,000.
Hence, the correct answer is ₦90,000.
