Some doubts about calculations: 1) Profit or Loss (P&L) at the end of period without inflation would be: $150,000 - $68,000 - $50,000 - $30,000 = $2,000 (benefit) 2) With inflation adjustment, my opinion is no considered adjustments on assets and liabilites, just capital could be adjustment with 10%; so: $150,000 - $68,000 - $55,000 - $30,000 (at the end of period) = Loss of $(3,000)   I think ASSETS AND LIABILITIES are closing at the end of period, so don't be adjustment by inflation rate Please confirm. Thanks

Question

Some doubts about calculations:

1) Profit or Loss (P&L) at the end of period without inflation would be:

$150,000 - $68,000 - $50,000 - $30,000 = $2,000 (benefit)

2) With inflation adjustment, my opinion is no considered adjustments on assets and liabilites, just capital could be adjustment with 10%; so:

$150,000 - $68,000 - $55,000 - $30,000 (at the end of period) = Loss of $(3,000)  

I think ASSETS AND LIABILITIES are closing at the end of period, so don't be adjustment by inflation rate

Please confirm. Thanks

Follow-up Question

ISSUE

$50,000 (initial capital) + $30,000 (new capital contribution) + X (profit or loss for the period) = $150,000 (assets) - $68,000 (liabilities) => X = ¿¿¿$38,000???

To me this result is $2,000 of utility by ASSETS = LIABILITIES = $150,000 (double entry accounting principle). 

Please check it. I don´t understand your calculation
