Hello,
Had a quick look - thoughts are,
Stock is missing from Balance Sheet
Capital is included under Current Assets - Should be in Capital (Equity)
Creditors under Current Assets - Should be under Current Liabilites
Debtors under Current Liabilities - Should be under Current Assets
Drawnings under Current Liabilites - Should in in deduction from Capital (Equity)
There also does not appear to be a figure included for the Profit for the year - which needs to be calculated first before you can complete the balance sheet.
My advice would to be to complete the profit & loss account first - then we can look at preparing the balance sheet.0 -
I think you need to study your books again,what you have done is a complete mess.
Start with doing a profit and loss as the question asks.0 -
Hi Emma,
Lets try and help you out on this questions
Ok so this question looks a lot easier lol
For the profit and loss account did anyone else get gross profit= 66950
Then the overheads = 45110
So profit for year continuing operations = 21840 (no tax or finance costs I think?)
idk but why isn't there any retained earnings or interim dividend or final dividend
Ok the balance at 30 September is 21840?
Now the balance sheet, yes I'm pretty sure fixed assets = 13125
So now current assets stock,cash,debtors,prepayment,bank=29490
Total assets = 42615?
So now do total equity
Share Capital = 37500
Drawing= -19500
Balance from balance sheet= 21840
So total equity=39840
So now current liabilities=
Creditors =5550
Vat Owed =1600
= 7150 I think
Don't think there is any non current liabilities, so total liabilities = 7150
equity+ liabilities= 46990
So I can't balance, has anyone else attempted?AAT

Hello,
I agree with aaron's figures - bar the exclusion of depreciation charge of £ 4,375 from the P & L.
I have of Net Profit of £ 17,465 / Assets at £ 42,615 / Capital & Liabilities of £ 42,615.
Note to aaron - there are no dividends / retained earnings as question looks as if it is based on a sole trader - not a ltd company.0 -
ahhhhhh ok cheers Crispy, 21840-4375(3375+1000)= 17465 :thumbup1:AAT
