To calculate the average capital, we need to consider the capital at the beginning of the year, additional capital introduced during the year, and withdrawals made during the year. We also need to consider the duration for which each amount was present in the capital account.
Saloni's Average Capital:
- April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 (3 months): Rs. 200,000
- July 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 (3 months): Rs. (200,000 + 50,000) = Rs. 250,000
- October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (3 months): Rs. (250,000 - 30,000) = Rs. 220,000
- January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018 (3 months): Rs. (220,000 - 15,000) = Rs. 205,000
