•(c) net assets are $__________.
The answer is $ 49,750.
#How did we find that answer?
The answer is not 49750 – I think you have mistyped!
You add up the asset balances and subtract all the liability balances.
The asset balances are: 49633 + 20877 + 15327 = 85837
The liabilities are: 32972 + 3295 = 36267
Therefore the net assets = 85837 – 36267 = 49570
You should be practicing questions using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers. They are full of exam-standard questions and have workings for their answer.
I already have book & Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved ,& that answer from the book that I have.
There is no mention of cash paid – cash paid does not appear in the trial balance anyway.
Again, you must watch my free lectures. I am not going to effectively keep typing out parts of my lectures!!
