Step-by-step solution

To calculate the Net Profit, we need to prepare an Income Statement using the provided post-adjusted trial balance.

  1. Calculate Gross Profit.

    Gross Profit is calculated by subtracting the Cost of Sales from Revenue.

    Gross Profit=Revenue−Cost of Sales\text{Gross Profit} = \text{Revenue} - \text{Cost of Sales} Gross Profit=1,280,000−720,000\text{Gross Profit} = 1,280,000 - 720,000 Gross Profit=560,000\text{Gross Profit} = 560,000
  2. Calculate Total Operating Expenses.

    Operating expenses include Depreciation, Electricity, Rent, Salaries, and Other operational expenses.

    Total Operating Expenses=Depreciation+Electricity+Rent+Salaries+Other operational expenses\text{Total Operating Expenses} = \text{Depreciation} + \text{Electricity} + \text{Rent} + \text{Salaries} + \text{Other operational expenses} Total Operating Expenses=155,000+30,000+20,000+60,000+31,250\text{Total Operating Expenses} = 155,000 + 30,000 + 20,000 + 60,000 + 31,250 Total Operating Expenses=296,250\text{Total Operating Expenses} = 296,250
  3. Calculate Operating Profit.

    Operating Profit is Gross Profit minus Total Operating Expenses.

    Operating Profit=Gross Profit−Total Operating Expenses\text{Operating Profit} = \text{Gross Profit} - \text{Total Operating Expenses} Operating Profit=560,000−296,250\text{Operating Profit} = 560,000 - 296,250 Operating Profit=263,750\text{Operating Profit} = 263,750
  4. Calculate Net Profit.

    Net Profit is Operating Profit minus Finance costs.

    Net Profit=Operating Profit−Finance costs\text{Net Profit} = \text{Operating Profit} - \text{Finance costs} Net Profit=263,750−20,000\text{Net Profit} = 263,750 - 20,000 Net Profit=243,750\text{Net Profit} = 243,750

    The Net Profit for the year ended 31 March 2026 is:

    243,750\text{243,750}
