Correct answer is B

To determine the value of purchases for the year, you need to consider the opening stock, purchases made during the year, and the closing stock. The formula for calculating purchases is as follows:

Purchases = Opening Stock + Purchases Made - Closing Stock

According to the information provided:

Opening Stock = D1,400
Closing Stock = D1,600
Owing for bar supplies at the end of 2021 = D7,300
Bar purchases = D17,000

Using the formula above:

Purchases = D1,400 + D17,000 - D1,600
Purchases = D17,800

Therefore, the value of purchases for the year is D17,800.
