    Ending capital = $38,800

    Explanation:

    Capital account measures a change in ownership funds of a business in a given period.

    In this scenario to calculate Scott's capital account at the end of the accounting period we use the following formula

    Ending capital = Beginning capital + contributions - withdrawals + Net income

    Beginning capital = 0

    Contribution = 40,000

    Withdrawal = 7,000

    Net income = 5,800

    Ending capital = 0 + 40,000 - 7,000 + 5,800

    Ending capital = $38,800
