wonder if someone can help

The net assets mof a business totalled £14,689 at 1st jan 03 and £19,509 at 31st dec 03. The owner did not pay any additional capital into the business but did withdraw £9,670 in drawings

what was the profit for the year

not sure why this has thrown me as have been ok up till now. I think its cause it a text question rather than needing to do the accounts.

If someone could work this out so i can see if i'm right it would be great

Thanks

    Re:Imcomplete records

    This is how I would find it:

    Net assets brought forward = £14,689
    Less Drawings of (£9,670)
    Sub total = £5,019
    Net assets carried forward = £19,509
    therefore (5,019 - 19,509) = £14,490 which represents the profit for the year.

    Kind regards
    Steve
