    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.

    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!!
