Add: Depreciation on furniture                          = 30,000
Add: Patents written-off (1,00,000 - 95,000)     = 5,000
Add: Loss on sale of equipment                        = 5,000
                                                                      = (2,70,000 + 15,000 + 30,000 + 5,000 + 5,000)
                                                                      = 3,25,000
