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.
