    a. Total debits to the inventory account would be $47,000

    Explanation:

    According to IAS 2 inventories which is the accounting standard for Inventories under IFRS, Inventory should initially be recognized at the cost (which includes the cost of the item and other associated cost such as freight).

    When inventory is purchased, the entries required are debit Inventories and Credit Cash.

    Total inventory cost

    = $44,000 + $3,000

    = $47,000
