Chapter 3 Case study Solution and discussion 1. First, prepare the statement of profit or loss and statement of financial position for the business. The list which Jimmy has provided is a jumbled mixture of statement of profit or loss items and statement of financial position items, so a useful preliminary step is to identify a category for each item depending upon whether it goes in the trading account, the rest of the statement of profit or loss or the statement of financial position. For statement of financial position items, the terminology used in Chapter 2 can be used: •
Non-current assets
•
Current assets
•
Current liabilities
•
Non-current liabilities
•
Capital
