C. Direct labour:
File Fanatics employs 13 workers who are directly involved with the production
process.
Each worker has worked 2 920 normal hours during the year at a rate of R115
per hour.
A production bonus of 7% of their annual remuneration was paid to each factory
worker in December 2017.
Deductions for medical-aid and UIF amounting to R261 924 were deducted off
gross wages.
The business contributed R22 464 to UIF for the factory workers for this
financial year. No other contributions are made.
D. Indirect materials:
Indirect materials purchased during the year, R187 200. All indirect material is
used in the factory.
E. Additional information
The Administration Cost note below was prepared by the bookkeeper on
31 December 2017:
R
Rent expense 409 500
Bad debts 36 750
Insurance 73 360
Salaries and wages 540 025
Water and electricity 22 500
On careful inspection of the above note, a number of errors were identified:
1. The bookkeeper incorrectly allocated the bad debts for the year.
2. Included in the salaries and wages figure above, is the salary for the factory
foreman. Administration salaries amounted to R312 625 for the year. There are
no additional contributions made towards the foreman's salary or administration
staff.
3. The bookkeeper has allocated the entire rent expense paid for the year to
Administration as he was unsure how to apportion this cost. Rent should be
apportioned in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1 for the factory, administration and selling
and distribution respectively.
4. Insurance paid amounted to R73 360. The business prepaid their insurance
for January and February 2018 and this was included in the payment. 80%
of the insurance belongs to the factory and the balance is split equally
between the other two departments. There were no increases in the
insurance premiums during the year.

5. The bookkeeper incorrectly processed the apportionment of water and
electricity in the Administration note above. He allocated 20% of the cost to
administration instead of 25% of the cost. R14 375 of the total cost needs to
be allocated to selling and distribution and the balance to factory overheads.
