You have been provided with the following additional information:
 
(1)  Inventories held on 31 December 2024 cost £1,542,000.
(2)  Within inventory are a batch of massage tables that cost £24,000, however they have been damaged in storage and can now only be sold for £30,000 and require rectification work costing £8,000.
(3)  The Nail Retreat, a local nail shop and regular customer of Orchid and Lily, has gone out of business.  At 31 December 2024 they owed Orchid and Lily £16,000.
(4)  The company sells its products with a warranty, typically claims are settled within 12 months. Based on historic information, data relating to these claims are detailed in the table below.  No adjustment to the accounts has been made in relation to the data this year because the owner would rather deal with claims as they arise:
 
Percentage of goods sold
Defect
Compensation payable
90%
None
0
7%
Minor
£2,100,000
2%
Moderate
£700,000
1%
Major
£500,000
 
(5)  The owner decided to adopt the revaluation model for land and buildings this year.  An independent surveyor valued Orchid and Lily’s land and buildings on 1 January 2024 at £14.0 million (land £2.0 million).  The owner doesn’t think it makes sense to depreciate following the revaluation, since it reflects the market value.  The remaining useful life of buildings at 1 January 2024 was estimated as 20 years.  Depreciation of buildings are treated as an administrative expense.
(6)  Plant and machinery are being depreciated at 25% reducing balance.  Depreciation of plant and machinery are treated as a cost of sale.
(7)  On 1 July 2024 the owner and previous financial controller recognised some product research costs of £750,000 as an intangible asset. The directors are hoping to launch a prototype product in January 2025 in the hope of it becoming commercially viable at that date.  They recognised the other side of the adjustment as a credit to administrative expenses. 
(8)  On 1 October 2024 the company raised funds through a share issue, at a market value of  £2.50 per share The proceeds have been recorded in the suspense account.
(9)  Income tax for the year to 31st December 2024 is estimated to be £66,000.
(10)        Orchid & Lily paid £2,500 for buildings insurance on 1st November 2024, for 12 months from the 1st December 2024. The full invoice amount has been posted to admin expenses.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Requirements:
 
a)    Prepare a schedule of adjustments, detailing the debits and credits required to deal with the additional information (refer to appendix 1, where the first entry has been done for you).
