The following trial balance relates to Fryatt at $31$ May $20$X$7$:

The following notes are relevant:

$(1)$ Plant and equipment is to be depreciated on the reducing balance

basis at a rate of $20\%$ per annum. The property cost includes land

at a cost of $$60,000.$ The building is depreciated over $30$ years on

a straight line basis. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales.

machinery under a lease agreement, making three annual payments

of $$29,000.$ The first payment was made on $31$ May $207$ and has

been charged to cost of sales. The present value of the minimum

lease payments is $$72,000$ and if Fryatt had purchased the plant

outright it would have cost $$78,000.$ Under the terms of the lease

Fryatt is responsible for repairing and insuring the plant and has the

option to extend the lease at a reduced rental at the end of the $3$

years. The plant has an estimated useful life of six years, with a

negligible value at the end of this period. The rate of interest implicit

in the lease is $10\%.$

year to $31$ May $207$ at $$7,200.$
