Profit = Closing capital + Drawings - Additional capital - Opening capital = 80,000 + 3,000 - 4,000 - 70,000 = Rs. 9,000.

Under the single entry / net-worth method, since no proper books are kept, profit is measured by the change in the owner's capital, after correcting for drawings (which reduce capital but are not a loss) and additional capital (which increases capital but is not a profit).
