    Hi John,

    Struggling slightly with the final Q5 on the multiple choice practice questions for Chapter 2.

    – On 1 July 2012, Net Assets are 23,000
    – On 30 June 2013 Assets are 34,000 and liabilities totalled 8,000
    – During the year owner introduces 2,000 capital and takes drawings of 6,000 for the year

    When Net Profit is calculated, why are Liabilities subtracted from Closing Assets? The answer I got is 15,000 due to this reason. A bit more explanation would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks

    P.S thank you for the materials on OpenTuition – they are proving invaluable to me so far.

    Net assets is total assets minus total liabilities.

    So the net assets at the end of the year are 34,000 – 8,000 = 26,000.
