Apollo Limited commenced trading on 1st January 2020, issuing 471,000 £1 ordinary shares at par. On the same day, the funds raised were used to purchase freehold land and buildings of £175,000, plant and machinery of £ 200,000 and 4,800 units of inventory for £ 20 each. Notes 1 2 3 5 6 During the year ended 31st December 2020, Apollo Limited sold three-quarters of the inventories for cash of £ 40 each. These sales occurred evenly throughout the year, with the selling price remaining unchanged and no other purchases were made during the year. Operating expenses (except for cost of sales and depreciation) amounted to £44,000. The freehold land and buildings are maintained to a high standard such that they will endure; accordingly, zero depreciation is recognised in Apollo Limited's financial statements. At 31st December 2020, equivalent premises would have cost Apollo Limited £184,730 to buy. At that date it could have sold the premises for £ 204,000. The plant and machinery have an anticipated useful economic life of ten years, with zero residual value expected. At 31st December 2020, replacing the plant and machinery with new (ie. unused) equivalents would have cost Apollo Limited £ 205,000. At that date it could have sold the plant and machinery for £ 184,000. 7 8 9 The replacement cost of a unit of inventory varied during the year as follows: 31st January 30th June 31st December Replacement cost per unit 20 25 30 12 of 19 At 31st December 2020, Apollo Limited's Chief Financial Officer calculated the Net Present Value of its land and buildings to be £ 190,000, and that of its plant and machinery to be £ 210,000.
