its v simple...

Make Statement of financial position full format n put things which are available

In the end the balancing figure will be bank

See first u have to find Non-current Asset, u will use Asset turnover ratio which is Sales/fixed assets So

870,000/Fixed Assets = 2

Now 870,000 = Fixed Assets * 2

870,000 / 2 = Fixed Assets (435,000)

Now closing Inventory which is 60,000 (From Part A)

For receivables use Formula Rec./Cr.Sales * 365

x/435,000 * 365 = 45

x = 45/365*435,000 = 53,630

Next is Bank which will be balancing figure as per question so we will leave this

then Creditors same like receivable use formula Payables/Cr. Purchase * 365

x/555,000 * 365 = 40

x= 40/365*555,000 = 60,822

Non current liability Deb. is given in question as 100,000

In equity Ordinary shares and preference shares are given in question.

Retained earning u can see from Part A

So now just put values total equity u will get is 426,233

Debentures 100,000 added back u will get 526,233

Now 526,233 - 435,000 u will get net current assets which is 91233

Now current Asset - current liabilities = Net current Assets

current asset - 60,822 = 91,233

current asset = 91233 + 60,822

current asset = 152055

So 152055 - 53630 (Receivables) - 60,000 (Inventor)

38425 balancing figure is bank :)

Please note closing inventory is 60,000 written as 13,000 in Marking scheme :)

Any doubts u can ask !!!

Standard Material - Actual material * standard price

(20,000 * 1.4) - 27,000 * 3.20 =
