Can you sort this out?

In a small town on the South Coast of France, the holiday season is in full swing, but it is raining. So, there is not too much business happening. Everyone is heavily in debt. Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local Hotel. He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter, takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor.  The hotel owner takes the bank-note in hurry and rushes to his meat supplier to whom he owes E100.  The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt.  The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some time ago.  The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave him her services on credit.  The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she owed the hotel for her hourly room use to entertain clients.   At that moment, the rich Russian is coming down to reception and informs the Hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his E100 back and departs. There was no profit or income. But, everyone no longer has any debt and the small town people look optimistically towards their future. COULD THIS BE THE SOLUTION TO THE Global Financial Crisis? Or, Is there a catch here?     Have a great day!

Farid,

 

heres the catch

 

The HOTEL does not have the E100 that the PROSTITUTE owed to them to write in their books as REVENUE since they never received it in the first place as the Russian took it away from them even before they could record it in their Cash Book.

 

Pity, I didnt do Accounting, mate
