The following information is provided:

1) Zorb revalued its factory on 1 April 2019 when a surveyor valued the factory at 38 million. The remaining life of the factory at the date of the revaluation was 20 years. This revaluation has not yet been recorded. Deferred tax did not arise due to this revaluation.

2) During 2019 Zorb spent 7 million developing a new brand for itself.

3) Zorb built all the Plant itself and began to use it on 1st January 2020. Plant is depreciated at 20% per annum on cost. Depreciation policy is to depreciate items on a monthly basis. The loan note was taken out on 1 April 2019 purely to pay for the building of the plant. The loan note has an effective rate of interest of 7%.
