Can you answer these question, without using the refrained earning and doing the calculations accurately? Like in previous answers I asked the calculations were not accurate however you have to balance the Assets= liabilities+ total equity.

Please provide all the calculations for explanation purposes. I want the correct answer as everyone is doinit wrong.

The scenario

The Crafty Limited is a small Arts & Crafts company. It had been highly profitable for a number of years and its growth had been quite remarkable. The Chairman and Managing Director, Helen Roger, had always been meticulous in supervising all company activities, but over recent years she has been finding it increasingly difficult to maintain day-to-day control. Helen has been careful to minimise the companys administrative costs. The annual financial accounts had always confirmed her intuitions about the companys progress, so there seemed to be no need for more frequent reporting.

However, because of the recent high inflation and cost of living crisis, The Crafty Ltd has been finding it very difficult to win new contracts. It is company policy to depreciate all company vehicles at 20% per annum on a reduced-balance basis. The companys premises are listed buildings, and accordingly, there are restrictions on refurbishment. Helen had noticed deterioration, and she was relieved that these buildings are depreciated annually at 1% on a straight-line basis.

Helen has explored various ways to improve the sales of the company, and the Marketing Manager, Tina Hughes also outlined a number of ideas. Tina is proposing to start an online service for the local community; according to her business plan, the sales revenue would increase by 20%. However, Tina estimates that there will be an initial cost of 50,000, and operating costs will increase by 5%. Her second proposal is to allow discounts to students, which she forecasts will yield a 2% increase in revenue, after any additional costs. However, Helen is not convinced that providing service directly to students will increase the revenue. Helen is looking to approach local companies in an effort to promote her business.

Helen decides to review the financial position of the company before making any decisions about future plans, and the company accountant prepare the Trial Balance for 31 March 2023 (see over).
