2022 Gr 12 Accounting Study Pack Activities/Notes Dear Grade 12 Accounting learner The activities in this booklet have mostly been selected from the latest National past examination papers to ensure all content and the latest exam trends are covered. You will therefore be well prepared for tests and exams if you work through all the activities regularly and with dedication. Past exam questions prior to Nov 2019 included in the 2020 Revision Pack are still relevant (except Bank reconciliation) and may be included in your revision / study programme. The content for Paper 1 and Paper 2 are listed on page 3. It is important that your revision /study programme is based on these topics so that you are well prepared for each paper. Note that Fixed assets and Inventory may be assessed in BOTH papers. In your preparation focus on: - the core notes/tips for each topic that highlight what can be expected in exam questions. It also includes formats and basic information to strengthen your basic knowledge of the particular topic. - the time allocated to each activity. Use this allocation to practice how to manage your exam writing time. Try to adopt time saving methods in order to work more effectively through an activity/exam question. - Work EVERY DAY on one or more activity to build your Accounting confidence, especially after a topic has been completed in class. - Other exam tips that you could practice regularly and apply when you write a test or exam: ▪ ALWAYS read the instructions carefully before answering the question. ONLY do what is required. ▪ Start with the questions you know best, e.g., Budgeting (some easy marks are available in this topic) to boost your confidence. ▪ Do not spent too much time on a question. IF the allocated time is over, move on to a next question to earn more marks. Only come back to incomplete questions, if you have time to spare. ▪ Underline certain words in the questions, so that you know exactly what the examiner expects, e.g., quote figures; Give TWO points…. ▪ SHOW ALL CALCULATIONS CLEARLY. You may use subheadings to label your calculations, e.g., 'depreciation', 'old' or 'new', etc. Your positive attitude and your drive to succeed supported by hard work will ensure success in Accounting.

If profit after tax is given, remember to ADD back tax. ▪ Adjustments i.t.o. Depreciation and Interest expense.

Directors will have an opportunity to explain or make changes to the statements. o Disclaimer of opinion = Auditors are not willing to issue any opinion as the financial information are too flawed and does not meet IFRS standards, which are ‘auditing rules’ standardised for all auditors. ▪ Auditors should be registered with a professional institution (SAICA, SAIPA, ACCA, SAIBA, etc.) for the following reasons: o Professionally recognition to work (practice) as an independent auditor o Their qualifications are verified o Act/Work within a professional code of conduct to be ethical and trustworthy CORPORATE GOVERNANCE  Basic concepts Shareholders | directors | board of directors | executive directors | non-executive directors | management committees | transparent & ethical management | management | control | CEO | CFO In Gr 12 corporate governance entails: ▪ effective, responsible and ethical management of a company. ▪ a broader /deeper insight into managing and control in a company. ▪ DIRECTORS (on behalf of shareholders, the owners of the company) are responsible for managing companies. ▪ Directors may hold shares in the company (this depends on the MOA of the company) ▪ Directors are members of the BOARD of DIRECTORS who are collectively in charge of the management of a company’s business operations. ▪ They make strategic (long term) and operational (short term) decision [see the Cash Flow Statement for some of the strategic decisions] ▪ Some management duties are given (delegated) to either individual directors or management committees.

The business sells watches. The periodic inventory system and the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method is used to value the watches. The financial year-end was 30 June 2020.

REQUIRED: 5.1 Calculate the following for the imported Euroclox watches on 30 June 2020, using the FIFO method: • The value of the closing stock (5) • Stock-holding period (in days) using the closing stock amount (3) • % mark-up on cost (3) 5.2 Patsy was still not convinced about the decision to import the Euroclox watches, but it appears that Lizzy's decision was beneficial to the business. In each case below, quote figures or indicators. 5.2.1 Compare the mark-up % achieved on each model and comment on how this has affected the sales and profitability of the two models. (4) 5.2.2 Compare the stock-holding period for each model and the demand for each model and comment on how these affected the management of the stock items of the two models.

Calculate the break-even point (BEP): = BEP determines the quantity produced where no profit or loss is shown; = Income generated from sales is just enough to cover costs. = FORMULA: TOTAL FIXED costs = .... Number of products/units (selling price per unit - variable costs per unit) Comment on BEP / production levels: = Compare BEP with the total number of units produced e.g. In 2001 100 (BEP) of 1000 units BUT in 2002 80 (BEP) of 1000 units covered costs. Therefore, more effective production levels in 2002 as 20 less units covered costs (or more units available for profit). 900 units will earn a profit in 2001, but 920 units will earn a profit in 2002. A drop / increase in production units and/or the BEP per year will influence your comment. It may help to work with %s... (2001: BEP was 10% and in 2002 BEP was 8% of total production = lower production costs) POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO SAVE / DECREASE / CUT PRODUCTION COSTS: - Bulk buying (buy in large quantities) to receive bulk discount - Cash purchases to receive cash discounts - Use alternative suppliers that offer more promising buying conditions - Do a work study in the factory to determine whether the factory is using efficient production methods, e.g. reduce wastage of materials and labour time 57
