A business income statement for the year ended 31 December 2004 showed a net profit of $83,600. It was later found that $18,000 paid for the purchase of a motor van had been debited to motor expenses account. It is the company’s policy to depreciate motor vans at 25 per cent per year, with a full year’s charge in the year of acquisition. What would the net profit be after adjusting for this error? A $106,100 B $70,100 C $97,100 D $101,600
C 83,600 + 18,000 – 4,500 = 97,100 |
