The ending owner's capital balance after closing is $382,300.

The company had a net profit for the year of $91,300. This is calculated by subtracting expenses from net income. $205,000-$113,700 = $91,300.

In order to calculate the the ending owner's capital for the year the accountant will add the net income to the starting owner's equity, and then subtract the amount that the owner withdrew from the business.

Starting owner's equity ($317,000) + net income ($91,300) = $408,300 and then subtract the amount withdrawn ($26,000) = $382,300, which is the ending owner's equity balance.
