Stumped on personal tax

I cannot see in the osborne books how an answer has been arrived at.
The question is on page 7.14.
My question revolves around the tax completion on page7.18.
In box 30 they have 25,500.
I can only get to £25,000 by way of 5,000+6,000+14,000=25,000.
I am probably missing something,but i am not sure what.

Thanks

    I'm happy to help if you're able to type out the question (I done this exam back in December 2010 with the Kaplan texts).

    Hi,
    I have just had a look and the answer is set out in task 4 on page 7.14 (Ptax tutorial 2011/12). If you add up the costs (5,000 + 3,500 + 14,000 = 22,500) this is what I have in box 30 - Maybe you used the 6,000 (to restrict the gain - chattels rule)?

    My book says 22,500 maybe you've got a different version of the book with an error in it.

    Looks like its a misprint as i agree with £22,500.
