A claim for insurance was finalised on 30 June 2020 and Zeta Pty Ltd expects to receive $30,000 in respect of its insurance claim within two weeks. This amount has been taken up as a sundry debtor in the Statement of Financial Position. 6. Dividends Zeta Pty Ltd owns shares in BHP, a publicly listed company.

The original wall was not extended in height or length. 3.
