Explanation / Answer

2.4)  a.

b. The statement of financial position reveals a high level of investment in non-current assts with more then 60% of total assets being non-current. This may be due to the fact that an engineering business may require heavy investment in non-current assets. Current assets are higher than current liabilities resulting in 1.7 times more current assets. The statement of financial position does highlights that Craft Engineering has no cash and appears to be dependent on short term borrowing.
