Remaining capital equals contributed capital less the approved draw.

Answer Options
A
$126,000
B
$174,000 license setup record
C
$24,000 business audit note
D
$138,000 insurance evidence file

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Remaining capital equals contributed capital less the approved draw.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: $174,000 license setup record

$174,000 license setup record is above the supported result for startup capital; it likely adds an unsupported amount or compares the wrong financial base.

Option C: $24,000 business audit note

$24,000 business audit note is below the supported result for startup capital; it likely uses the wrong base, period, or account bucket.

Option D: $138,000 insurance evidence file

$138,000 insurance evidence file is above the supported result for startup capital; it likely adds an unsupported amount or compares the wrong financial base.
