The following trial balance was extracted from the books of Frafraha Ltd (Frafraha) on 31 March 2018:

The following notes may be relevant:

1. Frafraha applies the revaluation model of IAS 16 Property, Plant & Equipment to its land and buildings. A revaluation took place on 31 March 2017 and resulted in the fair value of GH¢62 million shown above. This figure included GH¢22 million in respect of land. The buildings were deemed to have a 40-year useful economic life remaining at that date. No depreciation has yet been charged for the accounting period ended on 31 March 2018. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales. On 31 March 2018, a further revaluation took place, which revealed a fair value of GH¢24 million for the land and GH¢41 million for the buildings. This is to be recorded in the books in accordance with the accounting policy of Frafraha.
2. Plant & equipment is being depreciated at 25% per annum straight line from the date of purchase to the date of sale. On 1 October 2017, a piece of plant was purchased at a cost of GH¢12 million. This replaced another piece of plant which had cost GH¢8 million some years ago and was fully depreciated prior to 31 March 2017. A trade-in allowance of GH¢1 million was received for the old plant. The only entries made to record this transaction were to credit cash and debit suspense with the net payment of GH¢11 million. No other item of plant was more than three years old at 1 April 2017.
3. The inventories figure in the trial balance is the opening inventories balance measured on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Due to a change in Frafraha’s business, the company decided to change its accounting policy with respect to inventories to a weighted average basis, as follows:

Closing inventories at 31 March 2018, measured under the weighted average basis, amounted to GH¢41.2 million.

4. Intangible assets consist of capitalised development costs of GH¢30 million. These relate to products in development at 1 April 2017. No revenue has yet been earned from any of these products. They are all expected to be successful once ready for market, with the exception of one project. The amount previously capitalised in respect of this project was GH¢6 million. However, adverse developments have led to the decision to abandon the project as it was unlikely to be successful in the marketplace. During the year, further expenditure was incurred on other qualifying projects and was charged to administration expenses. The amounts are as follows:
   • Prototype development costs GH¢3 million.
   • Marketing research to determine the optimal selling strategy GH¢1 million.
   • Basic research which may lead to future projects GH¢4 million.
5. Frafraha commenced construction of a new warehouse on 1 May 2017. The building was completed and available for use on 30 November 2017. The cost of construction amounted to GH¢9 million, funded out of general borrowings, which comprise two bank loans as follows:
   • GH¢4 million of bank loan finance at 6% interest.
   • GH¢6 million of bank loan finance at 4.5% interest.

   All interest costs have been expensed in the year to 31 March 2018, but no other entries have been passed in respect of this. Ignore any depreciation in relation to the new warehouse.

6. Corporate tax for the year is estimated at GH¢0.25 million.
