If you write up a quick cash account you can calculate how much cash was received during the year.
If you then write up a quick receivables account, then because you know how much cash was received and you know the opening and closing balances, you can then calculate the sales during the year.
Once you know the sales figure you can get the profit by multiply the sales figure by 25/125.
