ANSWER
3,625
Qualifying expenditure
Levelling of land 10,000
Factory building 280,000
Total qualifying expenditure 290,000
Structures and buildings allowance:
£290,000 x 3% x 5/12 3,625
DOUBT? why 5/12!??! I don’t see any time apportionment to be done…

I think you will have to give more details about the question in order for anyone to answer with accuracy.
If I had to take a guess based on information available, I would guess the Factory was only brought into use for last five months of a year long accounting period.
