The following notes are relevant:

1. At 1 January 2019, Rapcap plc had its land and buildings revalued to 400 million. This valuation includes a value for land of 80 million. The estimated remaining life of the building at that date was 40 years. Depreciation of buildings is charged on a straight-line basis and is allocated 70% to cost of sales, 20% to distribution costs and 10% to administrative expenses.

2. During the year, Rapcap plc manufactured an item of plant that it is using as part of its own operating capacity. The details of its cost, which is included in cost of sales in the trial balance, are:

	000
Direct materials cost	9,000
Direct labour cost	6,000
Installation costs	2,000
Pre-production testing	2,000
Directly attributable overheads	3,000
General and administrative overheads	2,500

The manufacture of the plant was completed on 30 September 2019 and the plant was brought into immediate use, but its cost has not yet been capitalised.

3. All plant is depreciated at 20% per annum (time apportioned where relevant) using the reducing balance method and charged to cost of sales.

4. On 1 January 2019, Rapcap plc acquired plant and machinery which had a cost of 30 million. The company traded in (part-exchanged) an old item of plant for a value of 10 million and paid cash of 20 million. The cash transaction has been accounted for in the trial balance above, but the trade-in has not yet been recorded. The plant traded in had been bought on 1 January 2017 at a cost of 12.5 million.

6. The inventory at 31 December 2019 was valued at cost of 28.5 million. This includes 4.5 million of slow-moving goods. Rapcap 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 2 million.
