Greetings Mr John Moffat. Thank you for taking the time, this is much appreciated. For i) statement of profit/loss, how did you arrive at Sales of 5,200?
Thanks so much for these fantastic videos you have taken the time to produce, with thorough explanations. Just one query – for part (j) when the company receives half the amount owing to it on credit, why doesn’t the profit then go up by (half of 3000) 1400? Or is this amount already accounted for in receivables? Apologies – this is my first day starting ACCA!

John Moffat says
Are you watching the lectures in the correct order??
It is the balance from the sales account (2,400 cash sales and 2,800 sales on credit).

John Moffat says
That what appears in the statement of profit and loss – have you watched all the lectures for this chapter?

Greetings respected Sir John Moffat.
Is there any point where the capital amount/account itself reduces as well ? Let’s keep withdrawal a/c to the side.

The sale (and therefore the profit) is recorded as soon as the sale is made, not when the cash is actually received.
