Task 2.1

Hey Guys

Could help me with this question?

Calculate the adjusted trading profits, after capital allowances, for the year eneded 31 December 2008?

Regarding the lease payments, the suggested answer is

(1/2) x (15600 - 12000) x (2200) / 15600

Why do you have to multiply by a half?

Were does the 12000 come from?

Many Thanks

Charlie
