On 31st march 2016, storage facilities with a twenty year life span and no residual value were purchased for ₦150,000. On the same date, 1000 stock items were purchased for ₦100,000. On 30th June 2016, 600 of the stock items were sold for ₦90,000. Expenses of ₦10,000 were paid on 30th June 2016. All transactions were for cash.
