Here is the Statement of Financial Position for Gakuru enterprise:
Step 1: Classify the given items into assets, liabilities, and capital.
- Non-Current Assets:
- Buildings: 320,000 frw
- Furniture: 90,000 frw
- Current Assets:
- Stock of goods: 36,000 frw
- Debtors: 30,500 frw
- Cash at bank: 25,000 frw
- Current Liabilities:
- Creditors: 19,500 frw
- Bank Overdraft: 32,000 frw
- Capital:
- The amount 450,000 frw is listed without a label. We will calculate the capital using the accounting equation (Assets - Liabilities) to confirm this figure.
Step 2: Calculate Total Assets.
Total Non-Current Assets = 320,000+90,000=410,000 frw
Total Current Assets = 36,000+30,500+25,000=91,500 frw
Total Assets = Total Non-Current Assets + Total Current Assets = 410,000+91,500=501,500 frw
Step 3: Calculate Total Liabilities.
Total Liabilities = Creditors + Bank Overdraft = 19,500+32,000=51,500 frw
Step 4: Calculate Capital.
Capital = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
Capital = 501,500−51,500=450,000 frw
This confirms that the 450,000 frw mentioned in the list is indeed the capital.
Step 5: Prepare the Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet).
