Sole Traders
Muhtasari
A sole trader is the simplest form of business: one person owns it, runs it, keeps the profit and carries the risk. At the end of every financial year that owner needs to answer two plain questions. How much profit did the business make this year, and what is it worth right now? The income statement answers the first, the statement of financial position answers the second, and learning to build both cleanly is the single most examined skill in Cambridge IGCSE Accounting.
In this lesson you will prepare a full income statement from a trial balance, splitting it into the trading section that produces gross profit and the profit and loss section that produces the profit for the year. You will then lay out a statement of financial position in the proper vertical order, dealing with the adjustments examiners love to slip in: depreciation, accruals and prepayments, irrecoverable debts and goods taken by the owner. Every figure here ties together, so you can see exactly how one adjustment ripples through the whole set of statements.
