4) During the year ended 30 September 2020, Norton plc discovered that research

expenditure amounting to 36,000 had been incorrectly capitalised as development

costs during the year ended 30 September 2019. The companys policy is to charge a

full 12 months amortisation on all intangible non-current assets held at the year end.

Development costs are amortised over 5 years.

5) A flood on 2 October 2020 damaged inventory that had originally cost 50,000. These

items were included in closing inventory at 30 September 2020. It is anticipated that

following repairs costing 4,000, these items can be sold for 20,000

amount to HMRC. The estimated corporation tax liability for the year ended 30

September 2020 is 15,700.

8) In 2018 Norton plc set up a provision of 90,000 for a legal claim being made against

the company. In May 2020 Norton plc paid 83,000 in settlement of this claim. This

amount has been credited to the bank account and debited to a suspense account

pending the correct accounting treatment.

A further 250,000 ordinary shares were issued on 30 April 2020 at the market price of

1.70 per share. The company accountant correctly debited proceeds from the share

issue to bank but was not sure how to treat the credit entry and the whole of the

proceeds from the issue (which was received in full), have been credited to the ordinary

share capital account.

10) The interim dividend in the trial balance was paid to ordinary shareholders during the
