D is corrent. The ending balance in Smith’s capital account on either the accrual or cash basis is computed as follows:Beginning capital | + | Investments | + | Income | – | Drawings | = | Ending capital | | | | | | | |
Smith’s beginning capital balance is measured as the cost of the assets purchased to establish the business ($350,000).

No additional investments were made; cash basis income was $60,000 and drawings were $20,000. Therefore, the ending capital balance is $390,000 ($350,000 + $60,000 − $20,000).A is incorrect.
