Solution
To calculate the equity amount of SA Traders at 31 January 2022, we need to use the basic accounting equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
From the given data, we can identify the following:
Assets:
- Equipment: 405,000
- Inventory: 15,000
- Trade receivables control: 79,000
Liabilities:
- Bank (cr): 100,000
- Long-term loan: 220,000
- Trade payables control: 85,000
First, we calculate the total assets:
405,000 (Equipment) + 15,000 (Inventory) + 79,000 (Trade receivables control) = 499,000
Then, we calculate the total liabilities:
100,000 (Bank) + 220,000 (Long-term loan) + 85,000 (Trade payables control) = 405,000
Finally, we substitute these values into the accounting equation to find the equity:
499,000 (Assets) = 405,000 (Liabilities) + Equity
So, Equity = 499,000 - 405,000 = 94,000
Therefore, the equity amount of SA Traders at 31 January 2022 is R94,000. So, the correct answer is a. R94,000.
