She doesn't have accounting knowledge and asked your firm to take a look at it and finalise it after making any necessary adjustments: Non-current assets Machinery (Note 1) Current assets Inventories Statement of Financial Position (Draft) Trade receivables (Note 2) Cash Total assets CAPITAL AND LIABILITIES Capital invested on 01/01/2020 Current liabilities Trade payables Total equity and liabilities £ 15,500 35,500 40,300 Cost £ 140,000 91.300 231,300 132,300 35,690 167,990 2 3. 5.

Machines will be used evenly over a 10 year period with nil residual value. I have checked the condition of the machines and they are still new and covered by the warranty so therefore they have been reported at their original cost. £ 300,000 80.000 4,200 23,400 24.000 (157.000) 23,500 Total sales for the year was £335,500. However, some customers owed me £35,500 as at 31/12/2020 and therefore, I have subtracted this amount from the sales revenue. Similarly, I owe £35,690 to my suppliers and the purchase figure in the Income Statement was adjusted accordingly. Computers are going to be used evenly over a five year period after which they will be sold for £2,000. However, I have made enough profit this year and can afford to expense the entire amount this year. In total, 1 paid £4,200 for electricity during the year which covers the expense 11 months to November. The bill for December is estimated to be £2,500 but I did not include it as it will be paid for in January 2021. Monthly rent of the warehouse I use is £1,800. The amount in the Income Statement represents the total amount paid during the year. Required: () In your report, adjust the draft Statement of Financial Position and the Income Statement.
