Answer :

### Statement of Financial Position for Hawy Traders as at 28 February 2019

Let's proceed step-by-step through the information provided and prepare the Statement of Financial Position.

#### 1. Stock Returned by Owner
H. Way returned stock worth R5,000. This increases the stock available for the business.

#### 2. Fixed Deposit
The Fixed Deposit includes R30,000 that will mature on 31 August 2019. We'll list this amount separately under the "Fixed Deposit" section.

#### 3. Loan and Interest
The loan statement revealed R25,000 interest for the year. This interest needs to be capitalized (added) to the principal amount of the loan.
- Initial amount payable by 30 June 2019 = R55,000
- Add: Interest to be capitalized = R25,000

Loan Payable after capitalizing interest = R55,000 + R25,000 = R80,000

### Now, let’s compile this information into the Statement of Financial Position.

#### Assets
1. Current Assets
- Stock: R5,000

2. Non-Current Assets
- Fixed Deposit: R30,000

#### Liabilities
1. Non-Current Liabilities
- Loan Payable: R80,000
