According to the information provided:

Bar sales: D30,000
Bar purchases: D17,000
Opening stock: D1,400
Closing stock: D1,600
Rent: D1,200

To calculate the net profit on the bar, you can use the following formula:

Net Profit on Bar = D30,000 - (D17,000 + D1,200 + (D1,600 - D1,400))
Net Profit on Bar = D30,000 - (D17,000 + D1,200 + D200)
Net Profit on Bar = D30,000 - D18,400
Net Profit on Bar = D11,600

Therefore, the net profit on the bar to be transferred to the income and expenditure account for the year ended 31st December 2021 is D11,600.

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
