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
