At the date of acquisition, the fair value of Yen, Ltd., property, plant and equipment was considered to be £8,000 higher than its book value.

During the year to 31 March 20X1 Xing has sold Yen goods with a value of £50,000 including a 30% margin on sales. At the end of the year, 80% of these goods remained in stock.
