(b) The house I live in cost £30,000 five years ago and is now worth £60,000, but that is not included either (c) What is the difference between "fixed assets" and "current assets"? (d) Why do amounts for "vehicles" appear under both fixed asset and current asset headings?" (e) "Why is the "bank and cash" figure in the balance sheet different from the profit for the year shown in the profit and loss account? O 1 see the profit and loss account has been charged with depreciation on equipment etc. I bought all these things several years ago and paid for them in cash.
