- The first annual lease of premises was made on 1 October 2018 in part (iv).
- Depreciation charged are based on the value of depreciable assets present in the company on the last day of the financial year.
All land and buildings, and plant and machinery were purchased on 1 January 2013 and if appropriate a zero residual value is assumed.
-
- Plant and machinery is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and depreciation is to be charged to cost of sales.

After the sale of the building, the directors realised the value of the rest of their estate was not reflecting its true market value. A surveyor has since submitted a report which states that the new value of the land and buildings is £14,610,000 (£12,000,000 and £2,610,000 respectively for land and buildings) as at 1 January 2018.
- During the year, the following movements in plant and machinery have occurred:

It was agreed with the buyer of the equipment that 60% of the proceeds were to be paid immediately and the remaining 40% to be paid on 1 March 2019. The money was received as per the contract. To date no accounting entries have been made for the above transactions. If appropriate the profit or loss on the disposal of equipment is charged to cost of sales.

Full payment is to made on 28 February 2019 and as yet no accounting transactions have been recorded. Prior to this production line being implemented, a new concrete floor was installed costing £70,000. These costs have been fully paid and were included in ‘Power, rates, maintenance, insurance’ in part (iv) above.
- The original production line is now redundant and not used. Therefore the directors have decided to sell it to an overseas company, at the production lines’ net book value during 2019. The original production line cost £400,000.
- It has been a difficult trading year owing to the uncertainty of Brexit. The directors wish to revise the bad debt provision so it is 10% of the current value of trade receivables as at 31 December 2018. Any relevant adjustments must be charged to administrative expenses.
