A reference to the accounts will show you that the sum written off for depreciation of stock is $9,270.88; for fixtures and fittings, $739.12; and for goodwill. $5,000. The stock has been valued by our Manager, who assures us that the valuation is a fair one, but, as you must be aware, a stock like ours is Hable to depreciation from causes quite outside our control, and, therefore, it is extremely desirable that ample allowance should be made for this in the yearly accounts.
