sorry,i already know that. what i wanted was a discussion about the treatment for the calculation of profit.
Current net value of business is £91,400.00
The amount put into the business by the owner at the start of the year was £50,000.00.
The profit for the year is £41,400.00 (£91,400 - £50,000)

How would you asses the way in which profit has been calculated above?
current net value of business can also increase due to a no. of factors other than net profit e.g further investment, capitalisation of reserves etc

Sales less cost of sales you will get = GROSS PROFIT
GROSS PROFIT LESS Expenses you will get = NET PROFIT OR LOSS

( Profit is the excess of income over expenditure.When expenditure exceeds income, the business is running in loss. )

Your friend, who started a small building business a year ago (1st september 2004) has asked you to have a look at his financial records for the year to 31st August 2005. He has made an attempt to calculate his profit for the year, but is not sure if it is correct. He has given you the following data on which he based his calculations

Business Assets
Premises. Small unit on industrial estate. Cost £55,000 in september 2004. A similar one has just been sold for £65,000, but this is in better condition and should be worth around £70,000. Owner's valuation is £70,000

Van.Bought second hand for £9000 in september.Is still in good condition and should last for at least three more years. Owner's valuation £9,000

Equipment. Purchased in a closing down sale. Price paid £15,000, but would have cost at least £25,000 if not bought in sale. Owner's value £25,000

Stock. Cost £12,000 before trade discount of £1000. 20% is added on to cost before charging to customers. Owner's Value £ 14,400

Amounts due. At the present time customers owe in total £18,000. This includes £2,400 for a job done in november 2004, and the customer has now moved. It is hoped that this can still be calculated. Owner's value £ 18,000

Goodwill. The business is generating a good reputation and this is adding value to the business, estimated at around £15,000. Owner's value £15,000

Total value of business assets £151,400

Amounts Owed.
Bank Overdraft. This has been agreed at a limit of £10,000. The balance was £8,000 overdrawn on 31st August 2005. The latest bank statement received in september 2005 shows interest and charges for the quarter to 30th september 2005 of £240. Owner's Valuation -£8,000

Loan. Borrowed from a relative £40,000 in september 2004. Interest agreed at 5% per year.Owner's valuation -£40,000

Creditors. Owed to various suppliers. Owner's valuation -£12,000

Current net value of business £91,400

The amount put into the business by the owner at the start of the year was £50,000. The profit for the year is £41,400 (£91,400 - £50,000). The owner took out £1,200 per month for living expenses.

Discuss the accounting treatment for the calculation of profit and the valuation of assets and liabilities, and assess the way in which profit has been calculated in the above scenario.

no disrespect but Allah has no size. Allah is unseen and we humans have no idea at all what Allah looks like so how can we assume that Allah is big or small.
