Trade payables £240 000, total equity £230 000 of which £130 000 represents the profit for the year, bank £13 200, machinery £60 000, van £20 000, inventory £ 100 000, receivables £40 000 and prepayments £20 800. Hugh has yet to account for depreciation for which he is using the straight line method over four years assuming no residual value. He also identifies that he has only paid three quarters electricity bills and owes an estimated £ 1 200 which is not recorded.
