    Mr John pls help me to understand
    I don’t know what to do with cf bal of “At 31 December 20X8, Amy had assets of $614,130 and liabilities of $369,770.”

    Amy is a sole trader and had assets of $569,400 and liabilities of $412,840 on 1 January 20X8. During the year ended 31 December 20X8 she paid $65,000 capital into the business and she paid herself wages of $800 per month.

    At 31 December 20X8, Amy had assets of $614,130 and liabilities of $369,770.

    What is Amy’s profit for the year ended 31 December 20X8?

    my workings:
    bal bf Assets 569,400
    introduce cap 65,000
    new Asset bal 121,940

    bal bf Liabilities 412,840
    wages 800*12 = 9,600
    new Liab. bal 422,440

    What is the answer?
    thank you

    Increase in net assets = profit + cap introduced – drawings

    Net assets at start of year = 569400 – 412840 = 159560

    Net assets at end of year = 614130 – 369770 = 244360

    So increase in NA’s = 244360 – 159560 = 84800

    So….84800 = profit + 65000 – (12 x 800)

    So profit = 29400

    There is a mistake in your calculations i think.
    Net asset at start of the year should be 156560
    Therefore profit should be 32400 ?
