### Notes:
1. **Closing Stock** is assumed to be ₹5,000 for this problem as it was not provided. The balance sheet is not fully balancing due to this assumption.
2. **Income Tax** is generally not part of business expenses for profit calculations but can be a payable on the balance sheet.
3. The **Net Profit** is transferred to the capital in the balance sheet.
   
Would you like further details or explanations on any of the calculations?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How is the closing stock typically determined in a trading account?
2. Why is income tax considered a liability in the balance sheet?
3. What impact does drawings have on the capital account?
4. Why is the loan treated as a liability and not included in expenses?
5. What does the term "discount on purchases" refer to?

**Tip:** Always ensure the balance sheet is balanced—assets should equal liabilities plus equity.
