    Hi sir
    A trader had the following items in his statement of financial position on 31 December 2015 and 2016

    2015 2016
    Land 2000 2000
    Cars. 1000 –
    Payables. 500 2000
    Receivables. 2000 2000
    Cash. 500. –
    Closing inv. – 6000
    Accrued exp. – 1000

    During the period the trader made drawings of 700

    What was the trader’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2016?
    The answer is 2700

    I find the opening net assets $4500 but it is 5000 in the solution. Explain please. Thanks in advance

    The opening net assets (2015) are 2,000 + 1,000 – 500 + 2,000 + 500 = 5,000.
