MARKING GUIDELINE
MARKS: 300
GENERAL PRINCIPLES:
1 Where calculations are required, award full marks for the final answer. If the answer is incorrect,
mark the workings provided. If the working amount is shown as a final answer, award the relevant
marks allocated for workings (Income statement), and not the method mark for the answer.
2 Method marks are denoted by .
For calculations and final totals, at least one part of the workings must be correct for the method
mark to be earned. For totals – inspect operation and reasonableness of answer before
awarding the mark.
In cases where answers of previous questions must be used (carried forward answers), check
the transfer.
Unless otherwise indicated, the positive or negative effect of any figure must be considered to
award the mark. If no sign (+/-) or bracket is provided, assume that the figure is positive.
In awarding method marks, ensure that full marks are not awarded for any item that is incorrect
at least in part.
3 For questions requiring explanations and comments (2 marks or more), award part-marks for
incomplete answers. A good comment will normally mention and explain a point. Be aware of
candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline, and of different ways to say
the same thing. Note that the marking guideline only offer suggested answers.
4 Where penalties are applied (such as foreign items, misplaced items, omitted details, etc.), the
marks for that section cannot be a negative. Penalties will be indicated next to the relevant
questions where applicable.
5 Educators are advised to work through the question paper and compare with this guideline, before
marking. If adjustments are necessary, do so within the framework of the mark allocation.
This marking guideline consists of 12 pages.

3.3 Comment on the liquidity of the business. Quote TWO financial
indicators (with figures) to support your comment.
Financial indicators with trends (any TWO)
General comment
Current ratio decreased from 2,2 : 1 to 1,8 : 1 (see 3.2.1)
Acid test ratio decreased from 1,2 : 1 to 0,8 : 1
Debtors average collection period worsened from 40 days to 44 days. (see
3.2.2)
The financial indicators suggest that the liquidity position was satisfactory but
is moving towards an unsatisfactory position. At this trend, the business may
experience problems in meeting its short term debts in the future. The acid
test ratio indicates that the business holds too much stock; debtors are taking
too long to settle their accounts.
6
3.4 3.4.1 Explain Thandi’s concern about the “unlimited liability”
principle.
Explanation of unlimited liability part marks for unclear/incomplete answers
A partnership business is not recognised as being separate from
the owners.
The partners are therefore responsible for all debts of the business.
This liability may extend beyond their investment (equity) in the
partnership.
He is concerned that his private possessions (assets) may be used
to settle the debts of the business.
3
3.4.2 Provide TWO points to support Xola’s suggestion. Quote
ONE financial indicator (with figures) in your motivation.
TWO valid points
ONE relevant financial indicator (with figures)
The debt/equity ratio improved from 0,5 : 1 to 0,4 : 1 (see 3.2.4)
The business is lowly geared (not making extensive use of loans)
Increasing the loan by R200 000 will cause the debt/equity ratio to
move to 0,5 : 1 (which is still reasonable).
If the extensions to the business contributes to greater profitability
and the return on capital employed is greater than the interest on the
loan, then Xola’s suggestion can be supported.
