A new company has just completed its first year of trading. It was financed from £900,000 of share capital and £500,000 of long-term loans. A site was purchased of an exiting chemical plant for £700,000 (broken down into a value for the land of £250,000 and £450,000 for the plant and machinery), and modifications were carried out at a total cost of £300,000. Distribution is important and vehicles are purchased at Profit and Loss Account 100,000. Office equipment was purchased for £50,000. Straight line depreciation applies to assets at 15% per year for plant and machinery and 30% per year for vehicles.

Provision for tax should be 25% and a dividend of 20% of profit after tax will be declared.
