QUESTION 1 (51 marks) Power Source Limited is a large manufacturing company with a 31 December year- end. The company uses its superior production processes, professional engineering team, and industry-leading technologies to manufacture solar power and storage systems. During the current financial year-end, Power Source Limited has decided to introduce solar garden lights to their product range. For this new product range to be introduced, a new manufacturing plant was constructed. At the latest board meeting, the management accountant prepared a presentation showing the costs incurred during the construction of the manufacturing plant between 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023. The manufacturing plant, including all components thereof, was available for use and began operating on 1 July 2023. Capital Budget: Manufacturing of the plant Detail Note Rand Raw materials 1 1 500 000 Direct Labour 2 1 550 000 Manufacturing expenses - allocated 180 000 Specialised foundation 3 1 600 000 Plant lining 4 60 000 Provision for dismantling costs 5 ? Note 1 Raw material purchases are made up of the following: Description Rand External suppliers 900 000 Internal division* 600 000 *The inter-divisional markup included in this transaction was 25% on cost.

Note 2 Direct labour is made up of the following: Description Rand Wages are paid to workers while waiting for the specialised foun- dation to set and dry. This is normal and necessary for construc- tion of the plant. 200 000 Salaries and wages paid to workers for the construction of the plant 1 350 000 Note 3 The useful life of the specialised foundation has been estimated by management to be 10 years after which it can be deconstructed and used for alternative purposes. The residual value of the specialised foundation was estimated to amount to R100 000. The specialised foundation was paid for in cash. Note 4 A rubber lining was included in the manufacturing plant that can significantly increase its wear life as the lining is highly resistant to both fine and abrasive materials. Due to the original installation process being faulty, the plant lining that had originally cost R60 000 needed replacement on 30 November 2023 due to excessive wear and tear. The original estimated useful life of the plant lining was 5 years, with no residual value. A new lining was installed on the 1st of December 2023 at an amount of R90 000 and had a revised useful life of 4 years. The lining was available for use on the same date as the installation. All transactions relating to the plant lining have been paid for in cash. Note 5 The manufacturing plant must be dismantled at the end of its 25-year useful life and a provision for this cost must be recognised. The expected future dismantling costs after 25 years are R6 600 000. A market-related discount rate for a similar transaction is 8%. The manufacturing plant had an estimated residual value of R200 000. REQUIRED: 1.1) Calculate the value of raw material to be capitalised to the manufacturing plant.
