	<li>Defining the Term - Copyright: An exclusive legal right to produce, reproduce, publish or sell an original work.</li>
	<li>&nbsp;Analyzing the Financial Data 🕵️</li>
	<li>- (i) Calculating X and Y</li>
	<li>Hint: Use given financial details from Table 1.</li>
	<li>- (ii) Constructing Balance Sheet for 2021
	<ul>
		<li>&nbsp;List assets, liabilities, and equity</li>
		<li>Ensure the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) is balanced.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

c) Depreciation Method: Units of Production 💡

<ul>
	<li>Benefit #1: Reflects Actual Wear and Tear</li>
</ul>

- Real-world example: Imagine a computer used more heavily in year 1 than year 2. Using the units of production method, the depreciation expense would be higher in year 1.

<ul>
	<li>Benefit #2: Matches Expenses with Production</li>
</ul>

- Real-world example: If a company manufactures 10,000 toys in a year using a particular machine, the depreciation for that machine would correlate with those 10,000 toys.

<ul>
	<li>Copyright is a crucial protective tool for creators 🔐.</li>
	<li>Depreciation methods should reflect the business&rsquo;s actual operations and asset use. The units of production method is great for equipment whose wear and tear align with the number of units produced 📉.</li>
</ul>

Tip: Always keep an eye on the external environment (like competitors) and adapt strategies accordingly!
