This is the question
Sole trader – assets at the beginning of the year £186k
assets at the end of the year £274k
Drawings – £68k
Additional capital – £50k
What is his profit for the year? (please show how you worked it out) ?

Think about it that if there is no drawing then assets at the end of year is 274+68=342
So that difference is 342-186=156 which is increase in assets 50 against capital and 106 against profit.
or you can say (274-186)+68-50=106
