Calculations for Statement of Financial Position:
Inventory (Trading Stock)
The pre-adjustment balance was R 181 890, and there was a trading stock deficit of R 5 500.
Trade and Other Receivables
- Debtors' list: R 133 022
- Less: Write-off of overdue account: R 4 400
- Adjusted debtors: R 133 022 - R 4 400 = R 128 622
- Less: New provision for bad debts: R 11 440
Prepaid Lease
The lease of vehicle expense is R 52 800 for the year. Since it's paid one month in advance, one month's payment is prepaid.
Prepaid Lease = R 4 400.
Long-term Loan

- Balance at the end of the year: R 618 737.76
- Fixed monthly repayments: R 8 120
