The following notes are relevant:

  1. Depreciation for the year has not been provided. The depreciation policy is as follows:

Leasehold buildings

Straight line over the period of the lease, charged to cost of sales

Plant and machinery

20% reducing balance, charged to cost of sales

Furniture and fittings

25% reducing balance, charged to administrative expenses

The companys depreciation policy is to charge a full year in the accounting year of acquisition of the asset, but none in the year of disposal.

  1. On 1 April 2020 the freehold buildings were valued at a figure of 6,800,000. The directors wish to incorporate this figure into the accounts. The buildings have an estimated remaining life of 40 years. Depreciation of buildings is charged to cost of sales.
  2. Plant and machinery bought on 30 September 2018 and costing 100,000 was sold on 31 August 2020 for 48,000. No adjustment for this sale has been made and the sale proceeds have been included in revenue in the trial balance.
  3. The leasehold building was acquired on 6 July 2020. The lease is for a period of 30 years.
  4. During the year, a research and development department was established, incurring costs to the year-end of 770,000, including 180,000 for specialised machinery (bought on 11 January 2021). The whole of this expenditure is included in cost of sales. The directors of the company estimate that 450,000 of the expenditure relates to the development of a new window frame that will be launched later in 2021 and the remaining expense relates to pure research. It is confidently expected that the new product will earn substantial profits.
  5. On 1 September 2020, Mickledore plc closed a division of the company. The divisions results from 1 April 2020 to the date of closure, which are included in the figures in the trial balance were:

000

Revenue

1,985

Cost of sales

2,380

The directors of the company decided at a board meeting to dispose of the plant and machinery used by the discontinued division and started actions to locate a buyer. The plant had a carrying value at 1 April 2020 of 420,000, made up of a cost of 820,000 and accumulated depreciation of 400,000. The plant is in short supply, so the company is confident that the asset will be sold quickly. The current market value of the plant is 350,000 and it will cost 8,000 to dismantle the machinery to make it available to the purchaser.

  1. The inventory of Mickledore plc was not counted until 6 April 2021 due to operational reasons. At this date its value was 2,016,000 which is included in the trial balance. Between 31 March 2021 and 6 April 2021 the company received a delivery of goods at a cost of 150,000 and made sales of 400,000 at a mark-up on cost of 25%. Neither the goods delivered nor the sales made in this period were included in Mickledore plcs cost of sales or revenue in the trial balance.
  2. The inventory at 31 March 2021 includes 200,000 of slow-moving goods. Mickledore plc is trying to sell these to another company, but has not been successful in obtaining a reasonable offer. The best price it has been offered is 160,000.
  3. Corporation tax is to be provided at a rate of 20% of the net profit on continuing activities as shown in the statement of profit or loss. The company also accounts for deferred taxation in accordance with IAS12. At 31 March 2021 the difference between the carrying amounts of the net assets of Mickledore plc and their (lower) tax base was 3,175,000.

Prepare for Mickledore plc, a Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 March 2021.
