How to calculate Profit

You must say what your problem is and then I will try and help you!
Have you watched my free lectures on here? If so then you will have learned the accounting equation.
Increase in net assets = capital introduced + profit - drawings
The net assets at the start of the year were 569400 - 412840.
The net assets at the end of the year are 614,000 - 369,770
The increase over the year you can now calculate.
The capital introduced is 65,000.
The drawings during the year are 12 x 800 = 9600
Now you can put these figures into the equation and the profit is the missing figure.
(If you have not watched the lecture (on Chapter 2 of our free Course Notes) then you really must watch it.)
