Calculation of Profit and Loss under Single Entry System
Opening Capital: ₹10,000
Closing Capital: ?
Debtors: ₹11,000
Bills Receivable: ₹5,000
Prepaid Expenses: ₹1,000
Cash: ₹600
Creditors: ₹3,000

Step 1: Calculation of Closing Capital
Closing Capital = Opening Capital + Net Profit (or - Net Loss) - Drawings
Since we do not have information about Drawings, we will assume it to be zero.
Net Profit (or - Net Loss) = Total Income - Total Expenses
Total Income = Bills Receivable (₹5,000) + Debtors (₹11,000) + Cash (₹300) = ₹16,300
Total Expenses = Creditors (₹3,000) + Bills Payable (₹500) + Prepaid Expenses (₹400) + Unpaid Expenses (₹200) = ₹4,100
Net Profit (or - Net Loss) = ₹16,300 - ₹4,100 = ₹12,200
Closing Capital = ₹10,000 + ₹12,200 = ₹22,200
Step 2: Calculation of Profit or Loss
Profit or Loss = Closing Capital - Opening Capital
Profit or Loss = ₹22,200 - ₹10,000 = ₹12,200 (Profit)
Therefore, the profit for the year ended 31st December 2012 under single entry system is ₹12,200.
