Total fixed assets is

Answer Details

To determine the Total Fixed Assets, we need to focus on the accounts that represent fixed assets. In a company's balance sheet, fixed assets are long-term tangible property that a firm owns and uses in its operations to generate income. In this context, typical fixed assets include items like land, buildings, furniture, machinery, etc.


From the list provided:


  • Land and Building: #70,000
  • Furniture: #10,000

Both "Land and Building" and "Furniture" are considered fixed assets. To calculate the Total Fixed Assets, you simply add these amounts together:


#70,000 (Land and Building) + #10,000 (Furniture) = #80,000


Therefore, the Total Fixed Assets for Adama Ltd as of 31st August 2007 is #80,000.
