Answer 1

To create the General Ledger accounts for Super Battle Drones for the year ending 29 February 2024, we need to follow the accounting principles set out in IFRS, ensuring all inventory and expense accounts are accurately recorded.

General Ledger Accounts Preparation

1. Raw Materials Account

Raw Materials Account for the year ended 29 February 2024:

| Date | Details | kg | R | Balance | |---------------------|----------------------------------|---------|----------|------------| | 1 March 2023 | Balance b/d | 200 | 4,000 | 4,000 | | 1 March 2023 - 23 Apr 2023 | Purchases | 6,000 | 126,000 | 130,000 | | 24 Apr 2023 - 21 Jul 2023 | Purchases | 24,000 | 516,000 | 646,000 | | 22 Jul 2023 - 29 Nov 2023 | Purchases | 18,000 | 405,000 | 1,051,000 | | 30 Nov 2023 - 29 Feb 2024 | Purchases | 21,000 | 483,000 | 1,534,000 | | | Raw materials used this year | (69,600)| (1,469,800) | 64,200 | | | Balance c/d | 600 | 12,000 | 12,000 |

Note: The calculation for materials used includes the beginning balance plus all purchases minus the ending balance.

Calculation of total raw materials used:

• Total raw materials available = 200kg + 69,000kg = 69,200kg
• Raw materials @ R21.00, R21.50, R22.50, and R23.00 were used, totaling:
  • 6,000kg @ R21.00 = R126,000
  • 24,000kg @ R21.50 = R516,000
  • 18,000kg @ R22.50 = R405,000
  • 21,000kg @ R23.00 = R483,000
• Total Purchase value = R126,000 + R516,000 + R405,000 + R483,000 = R1,530,000
• Ending Balance - Raw Materials leftover = 600kg @ R20 = R12,000
• Total Cost of Raw Materials Used = R1,530,000 + R4,000 (opening balance) - R12,000 = R1,522,000.
