Question

After the accountant of Stallone Retailers had prepared the financial statements for the year ended 31 December Year​ 6, the following errors came to​ light:
1. A motor van purchased for ​8,000 during the year had been charged to motor running expenses. The motor van should be charged with depreciation at the rate of​ 20% of cost.
2. Closing​ inventories, which had been used in calculating gross​ profit, had been overvalued by​ £3,000.
3. The owner had withdrawn ​4,000 from the business in the form of goods acquired for​ resale, which had not been recorded.
4. An​ interest-free loan of ​2,200 from a relative of the owner was repaid during the year but this was not recorded.
The profit for the year before these errors were discovered was ​112,000.
What is the profit for the year after adjusting for these​ errors?
