                                  MARKING GUIDELINE
MARKS: 150

MARKING PRINCIPLES:
1.    Penalties for foreign items are applied only if the candidate is not losing marks elsewhere in the question for
      that item (no foreign item penalty for misplaced items). No double penalty applied.
2.    Penalties for placement or poor presentation (e.g. details) are applied only if the candidate is earning marks
      on the figures for that item.
3.    Full marks for correct answer. If the answer is incorrect, mark the workings provided.
4.    If a pre-adjustment figure is shown as a final figure, allocate the part-mark for the working for that figure (not
      the method mark for the answer). NOTE: if figures are stipulated in memo for components of workings, these
      do not carry the method mark for final answer as well.
5.    Unless otherwise indicated, the positive or negative effect of any figure must be considered to award the
      mark. If no + or – sign or bracket is provided, assume that the figure is positive.
6.    Where indicated, part-marks may be awarded to differentiate between differing qualities of answers from
      candidates.
7.    Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section of the question cannot be a final negative.
8.    Where method marks are awarded for operation, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the answer
      before awarding the mark.
9.    'Operation' means 'Check operation'. 'One part correct' means 'Operation and one part correct'.
      NOTE: Check operation must be +, –, x or ÷ or per candidates’ response.
10.   In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator & denominator are swapped - this also applies
      to ratios.
11.   In awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that is incorrect at least
      in part. In such cases, do not award the method mark. Indicate by way of .
12.   Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
13.   Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.

                              This marking guideline consists of 11 pages.

 1.1.5 In August 2019 the internal auditor discovered that the outstanding
       deposit of R20 500 on the Bank Reconciliation Statement on 31 July
       2019 appeared as R5 500 on the Bank Statement (Item 3). The amount
       on the Bank Statement is correct. List ONE concern that you have as
       internal auditor. Provide ONE suitable control measure to prevent this
       from happening in future. Explain fully.

     The money could be              Compare receipts of cash to the deposit
      stolen                           slips on a daily basis to see whether all
                                       cash received was deposited.
     Internal control processes      Put internal control processes in place –
      are not effective                division of duties. The deposit must be
                                       checked by an assistant.
     Fraud could take place /        Arrange for SMS notifications from the
      rolling of cash                  bank and check against the CRJ.

                                   For one mark:
                                      Investigate the deposit slip for errors.

 1.2.1 Why should the balance of the Creditors’ control account correspond
       with the total of the Creditors’ list?
 Any acceptable answer 

       It is an internal control measure – figures in the journals are posted to the
        Creditors’ Control account and the Creditors’ Ledger. 
       The Creditors' Control account is a summary of all the transactions related
        to creditors and the list is a total of all the Creditors’ balances.                   2

 2.5       4’Ocean Traders anticipates that demand will increase in the next
           financial year to 600 000 units. They aim to increase the number of units
           produced to meet this demand. They expect fixed costs to remain
           unchanged.

 2.5.1 Explain what you understand by the term ‘break-even point’.
           Valid explanation 

          The number of units that must be sold  in order to cover the Fixed Costs.
           Thereafter, the manufacturer will make a profit. 
          The point where total income equals total expenses. 
                                                                                           2
 2.5.2 Explain the effect the above decision will have on the fixed costs per
       unit and the break-even point.
 FIXED COST PER UNIT:

 As more units are produced the Fixed Costs per unit will decline. 

 BREAK-EVEN POINT:

 If Variable Cost increases/decreases – BEP will also increase or decrease 
                                                                                           4

         an increase.                                                                        5

         • The actual expenses exceed the budgeted amount – overspent
         • Maybe unexpected increase in fuel prices and maintenance cost
         • The use of the vehicles needs to be investigated in order to ensure that
