Here are the calculations for each additional information point and the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Calculations for Additional Information:

a) Closing Inventory:
The inventory on hand on 31st December 2019 is the closing inventory.

Closing Inventory=₦102,800\text{Closing Inventory} = \boxed{\text{₦}102,800}

This figure will be used in the Cost of Goods Sold calculation.

b) Provision for Bad Debts:
The trial balance shows an existing Provision for Bad Debts of ₦1,790 (Cr) and Bad Debts of ₦1,790 (Dr). The new provision required is ₦5,600.

Old Provision for Bad Debts=₦1,790New Provision for Bad Debts=₦5,600Increase in Provision=New Provision−Old Provision=₦5,600−₦1,790=₦3,810Bad Debts Expense for the year=Bad Debts (from TB)+Increase in Provision=₦1,790+₦3,810=₦5,600\begin{align*} \text{Old Provision for Bad Debts} &= \text{₦}1,790 \\ \text{New Provision for Bad Debts} &= \text{₦}5,600 \\ \text{Increase in Provision} &= \text{New Provision} - \text{Old Provision} \\ &= \text{₦}5,600 - \text{₦}1,790 \\ &= \text{₦}3,810 \\ \text{Bad Debts Expense for the year} &= \text{Bad Debts (from TB)} + \text{Increase in Provision} \\ &= \text{₦}1,790 + \text{₦}3,810 \\ &= \boxed{\text{₦}5,600} \end{align*}

This ₦5,600 will be charged as an expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

c) Insurance Prepaid:
The trial balance shows Rent, Rates and Insurance of ₦14,700. Insurance prepaid is ₦1,200.
