(2) 5.3 No. ✓ Any ONE explanation with an item from the information ✓: the R8 200 increase in the bank balance includes the capital contribution of R10 000, which is not income; OR the R15 800 paid for equipment and the R2 500 drawings are not expenses, but they reduced the bank balance. Profit is income minus expenses, not the change in the bank balance. For the marker: profit = (26 850 + 4 500) − (9 600 + 3 270 + 1 980) = 31 350 − 14 850 = R16 500. A learner who shows this calculation earns the explanation mark.
