Solution

To determine the chargeable income after adjusting for financial gain and financial cost, we need to calculate the net profit before tax and then make the necessary adjustments.

  1. Start with the profit before tax: GH¢30,000

  2. Add back the following expenses that were deducted before arriving at the profit before tax:

    • Depreciation: GH¢25,000
    • Rent expense: GH¢15,000
    • Provision for doubtful debts: GH¢5,000
    • Specific bad debt: GH¢10,000
    • General bad debt written off: GH¢3,500

    Total deductions: GH¢58,500

    Net profit before tax: GH¢30,000 + GH¢58,500 = GH¢88,500

  3. Subtract the following financial costs:

    • Total financial cost: GH¢50,000

    Net profit after financial costs: GH¢88,500 - GH¢50,000 = GH¢38,500

  4. Add the following financial gains:

    • Total financial gain: GH¢15,000

    Net profit after adjusting for financial gain and financial cost: GH¢38,500 + GH¢15,000 = GH¢53,500

Therefore, the chargeable income after adjusting for financial gain and financial cost is GH¢53,500.

The correct answer is D. GH¢53,500.
