Solution:

1. Initial capital introduced by Mr. Gopal for starting the business of “Readymade Garments” is Rs.8,00,000.
2. He purchased two Fixed Assets i.e., Furniture and Computer. Therefore,

3. Value of the goods purchased by Mr. Gopal (Proprietor) = Purchase of Garments + Purchase of Men’s Garments
   =4,00,000 + 2,00,000
   = Rs.6,00,000
