GENERAL RULES:

1.   Award full marks for the correct final answers. If the answer is incorrect,
     mark the workings provided. If a workings figure/amount is shown as a
     final answer, allocate the working mark.

2.   “Method” marks are denoted by
     - In calculations and final totals, at least one part of the workings must be
       correct to earn the mark.

     - In cases where answers of previous questions must be used, check the
       transfer.

     - Ignore brackets on statements, but check the operation before awarding
       marks.

3.   Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section cannot be a
     negative. (foreign items)

4.   For questions requiring explanations and comments, award part-marks.
     A good explanation will normally mention and explain a point. Beware of
     alternative wording reflecting the same points. This marking guideline
     provides some explanations – they are not conclusive. Read the
     candidates’ responses and give credit for their interpretations.

5    Where appropriate/acceptable, accept recognisable abbreviations.

1.4   Calculate the Gross Profit for the year.
                                                          Cost of Sales :
      Sales – Cost of sales = Gross Profit                              Finished goods Stock

                                                                         630 500        c/d 82 960
      = 454 380                                                                                          5

1.5   Should the business be satisfied with:

      a) The total number of units produced this year? Substantiate.
      Yes.
      Produced more goods than the break-even number of units, therefore the business made a
      profit. Profit margin, however, needs to be compared with previous year to determine
      profitability.
                                                                          Any valid response             3

      b) The break-even number of units compared to last year? Explain.
      No.
      It took more units to break-even this year. Could be as a result of increase in prices. The
      percentage increase, however, is much greater than the inflation rate suggesting that there
      could be some wastage etc.
                                                                             Any valid response          3

1.6   The internal auditor noticed that the overtime earnings represent a large
      percentage of total production wages. He requested that the production
      management investigate this matter.

      1.6.1     Briefly outline the role of an internal auditor.
      Independent activity.
      Investigate, analyse and evaluate the internal controls in place.
      Test compliance to company and accounting principles.
      Note weaknesses and advise management on ways to improve processes.
                                                                        Any valid explanation            2

      1.6.2     List TWO problems that the business may be experiencing with
                regard to overtime, and suggest an appropriate internal control
                measures that can be used to rectify the concern expressed by the
                internal auditor.

      Problems identified:
      Production levels may not be met during normal time.
      Poor supervision of workers in production.
      The company policy on overtime may not be clear or stringent.
      Ethical issues :
      Haphazard signing/authorisation of overtime
      Poor discipline of employees (time wastage, loitering, breaks etc.)
                                                                Any other explanation (x2)
      Suggestion:
      Set production targets that must be completed during normal time (undertake time and
      motion studies to determine this).
      Limit overtime hours per worker, per month.
      Explore alternative methods of production/processes/layouts
      Rotate supervision, division of duties etc.
                                                                   Any other explanation (x2)            6
                                                                                                        [45]

 2.3 Explain why the advertising amounts in the projected income statement differ
     from that in the cash budget.

       The projected income statement apportions all nominal accounts equally for the entire financial

 2.4 Calculate the following:

       2.4.1    The mark-up percentage on cost achieved for the year ended
                31 December 2011.

2.5 Comment on whether you think that Freedom Traders is likely to experience
    liquidity problems. Motivate your answer by making reference to the ratios
    given.

     The current ratio indicates that they should not have liquidity problems as they have 4 times as
     many current assets to current liabilities. The acid test ratio, however, is only 0,5 : 1, indicating
     that they carry too much stock. This means that they will have liquidity problems if they are
     unable to sell their stock.
     They are likely to experience liquidity problems and therefore one can conclude that they are
     not managing their working capital efficiently.
                                                 Any reasonable explanation highlighting the gist above.

2.6 Comment on the debtors’ collection and the creditors’ payment terms, and give
    a suggestion on how they could be managed differently.
    Comment:
     Creditors only allow 30 days credit. Debtors are taking 4 months to settle their debts.
     Because of their large stock balance and the poor debtors’ policy, they are tying up cash in
     working capital.
     Relying heavily on cash sales (90%) to meet cash obligations – also overdraft.
                                                                       Any other valid explanation

     Suggestion:
     They need to re-negotiate better terms with creditors to lighten cash burden.
     They have to provide incentives to debtors to pay early, or amend credit terms with debtors.
     Debtors, however, does not appear to be a large factor as it constitutes only 10% of sales.
                                                                        Any other valid explanation          4

2.8 The business plans to acquire a loan of R400 000 in March 2012.
    Explain why you think that this is either a wise decision or not.

     The loan is intended to relieve cash flow problems highlighted by the budget. (large overdraft)
     This budget is, however, incorrect as it includes cost of sales and other non-cash items which

                                                          2 200 000 + 104 000 + 35 000) (CB)
        507 000 / 2 225 500                                  = 4 451 000                                5

4.2.3   Explain whether you think the shareholders should be happy with the return
        on their investment. (Return on shareholder’s equity for 2010 was 17%)
        Higher than alternative investments such as fixed deposits (can mention the current interest
        rates offered by banks) or they can be compared with last year’s return of 17% and say that
        there was an improvement to last year.
                                                                      Any other valid explanation       2

4.2.4   Calculate the dividends per share (DPS) for the year ended 30 November
        2011.

        (308 000 + 176 000) / 880 000 = 0,55 or 55c
           484 000                                                                                      2

 4.2.5    Give a reason why you think the final dividend this year was much lower than
          the interim dividend.
          Made less profit than expected.
          Decided to use profits to re-invest in the business such as buying assets, upgrading etc.
          To pay debts, improve liquidity, eliminate overdrafts.
                                                                        Any reasonable explanation      2

 4.2.6    The net asset value (NAV) for 2011 is 266c. Give ONE factor that causes
          the net asset value to increase.

          Increase in retained income (investment in increasing the retained income).
          Sale of shares at a higher premium (increasing share premium).
                                                                                   Any one cause        2

 4.2.7    If the market price of the shares of Outback LTD is 252c, would it be a wise
          decision to purchase them now? Explain.

          Yes: The NAV is 266c, which shareholders are likely to receive in the event of bankruptcy
          (liquidation). Shares are being sold for less so it could be a worthwhile investment.

          No: demand determines the market price – this low price indicates that there is no/reduced
          demand for the shares, hence the lower price. Need to examine why public are not interest
          in these shares.
                                                                            One good explanation

 5.2.2    The credit controller realised that debtors’ allowance is high.
             What can the business do to reduce this balance? (Two points).

          Quality control – sell products of good quality.
          Prompt ordering and dispatch of goods.
          Guarantees and follow-up visits to check products (depending on what the product is).
          Outsource delivery, reduce handling etc.
                                                             Any other valid explanation (x 2)              4

 5.2.3    A debtor, who had been charged interest for three months, at 12% p.a. on his
          overdue account of R3 560, argued that this penalty was unfair because his
          most recent purchase of R1 250 was made in this month.
             Explain why you agree with him.

          That portion of his account is not overdue. The business needs to do age analysis and apply
          interest to the portions of the account that is overdue.

          The learner must mention Age Analysis.
                                                                      Any reasonable explanation            3

 5.2.4    The business uses the invoice method to determine its VAT liability.
             Briefly describe this method.

          VAT is calculated taking into account cash and credit transactions and recorded in the month
          of the transactions. VAT return form is completed and submitted accordingly.
                                                                      Any reasonable explanation
                                                                                                            3
              Due to the cash flow problems experienced by the business, the owner
              decided to inflate the VAT Input on the VAT return form by R7 500. What
              implications would this have on the business and the owner?

          The VAT Input would have to be adjusted manually on the VAT return but the book records
          will reflect the total amount due. If audited by SARS, the business would be liable for
          additional penalties and fines applicable for falsifying the VAT return.

          The candidate may discuss the ethical issue of deliberately defrauding the state of its taxes.

                                                                    Any other reasonable explanation
                                                Two complete points (Good, satisfactory, fair)              4

STOCK VALUATION AND ASSET MANAGEMENT                                            (35 marks ; 21 minutes)

6.1    INVENTORY VALUATION

6.1.1 Perkin Stores uses the weighted average method to value their stock.
      Calculate the closing stock balance, using the above method.

                 = R5 000 x 418 units = R2 090 000
                                                                                                          4

6.1.2 Calculate the Gross Profit on TV sets sold for the year based on the weighted
      average method.
                                                                 *
       Cost of sales:                               4 845 000 (Sales) – 2 550 000
       510 units x 5 000 = 2 550 000
                                                    Gross Profit = 2 295 000

                                                       * (depending on the weighted average calculated)   3

6.1.3 Perkin is considering a change to the FIFO method to value his stock.
      Calculate the Gross Profit using this method.
       Cost of sales : 228 x 4 300 = 980 400         Sales – cost of sales = Gross profit
                       190 x 4 750 = 902 500         4 845 000 – 1 882 900 = 2 962 100
                          Total: 1 882 900                                                                4

6.1.4 In your opinion, which is the more appropriate method to use?
      Give a reason for your answer.
       FIFO
       This is the preferred method for large items where individual costs vary and fewer purchases
       are made each year, and they can be easily controlled.
       Weighted average is more suited for low-value items produced/purchased in bulk.
                                                                             One valid explanation        3

6.1.5 Although Perkin is contended to sell the same brand TV sets, he did notice
      the significant difference between the number of units he had at the beginning
      of the year, and his closing balance.
      Explain why he should be concerned about this trend, and provide TWO
      suggestions on how he can remedy this situation.
      Why he should be concerned:
       The cost of the products is decreasing significantly due to other more up-to-date products
       entering the market. Technological changes make the more modern products desirable
       causing a decrease in the demand for Perkin’s TV sets.
       Danger of redundant/obsolete products – insurance may not provide cover for out dated items
                                                                  Any other reasonable explanation

       Suggestions:
       Consider expanding his range of products and offer other after sales services.
       Decrease profit mark-up percentage to increase sales – cut losses now.
                                                                         Any reasonable suggestions
                                                                                                          6
