Unless otherwise stated in the marking guidelines, penalties for foreign items are applied only if the candidate is not losing marks elsewhere in the question for that item (no penalty for misplaced item). 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 answer 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. 9. Operation means 'check operation'. 'One part correct' means operation and one part correct. Note: check operation must be +, -, x, ÷, or per memo. 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. Indicate with a . 12. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline. Note that one comment could contain different aspects. 13. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation. These marking guidelines consist of 10 pages. 1 ### Page 2 Downloaded from hlayiso.com QUESTION 1: CREDITORS’ RECONCILIATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CASH (30 marks; 20 minutes) 1.1 CREDITORS’ RECONCILIATION 1.1.1 Creditors’ Ledger Statement received account of from Blue Blue Suppliers Suppliers Preliminary R29 375 R34 770 balance/total (i) - 375 (ii) - 1 500 (-750 – 750) (one mark each) (iii) - 500 (iv) + 1 800 (9 700 – 7 900) (two or 0) (v) - 12 500 (vi) + 6 320 (vii) - 8 000 - 400 24 495* 24 495 Correct balance/total 13 * for both totals Opening balance/total have to be included 1.1.2 Calculate the average creditors’ payment period (in days). 114 000 three marks ½ (100 000 + 128 000 ) x 365 832 200  114 000 x 365 832 200 50 days  One part correct and MUST be multiplied by 365 5 1.1.3 Provide TWO internal control measures which can be implemented to have a good internal control over creditors.
