Should the assets figure not be $35,000?

Q: I just noticed the text in this Accrued Income Part 2 lesson says, "George’s Catering still consists of assets of $30,800, but this is now made up of baking equipment to the value of $12,000, and $23,000 cash".

Surely the $30,800 is incorrect and should read $35,000 instead!

A: You're absolutely right Philip - great catch! :) This has now been changed.
