Good day can you please help with this question.
Deane has the following information relating to the year ended 30 September 20×4:
Non-current assets at the year end $100,000
Working capital at the year end $20,000
Non-current liabilities at the year end $60,000
Opening capital $40,000
Drawings during the year $30,000What is the profit or loss for the year?
Increase in capital = Capital at end of period – capital at start = Profit + Capital introduced – Drawings.
Opening capital = $40,000
Closing capital = Non-current assets 100,000 + working capital (current assets – current liabilities) 20,000 – non-current liabilities 60,000 = 60,000
Increase in capital = 60,000 – 40,000 = 20,000
This has happened even though drawings were 30,000, so profit must have been 50,000:
Check:
20,000 (inc in cap) = 50,000 (profit) – 30,000 (drawings)
