                                                    2019

                                     MARKING GUIDELINES

                                                                                             MARKS: 300
MARKING PRINCIPLES:
1.    Unless otherwise stated in the marking guideline, 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.    This memorandum is not for public distribution, as certain items might imply incorrect treatment. The
      adjustments made are due to nuances in certain questions.
8.    Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section of the question cannot be a final negative.
9.    Where method marks are awarded for operation, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the
      answer and at least one part must be correct before awarding the mark.
10.   Operation means 'check operation'. 'One part correct' means operation and one part correct. Note:
      check operation must be +, -, x, ÷, or per memo.
11.   In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator & denominator are swapped – this also
      applies to ratios.
12.   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 .
13.   Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
14.   Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.

                        These marking guidelines consist of 15 pages.

          Effect of the advertising on sales
          Comment on advertising (with figures) 
          Comment on sales (with figures) 
          Effect on sales                Max one mark if no figures provided

          Advertising was over budget by R28 800 (80%)
          Total sales increased by R4 000 (0,6%), due to an increase in credit sales.
          Effect on sales: The large increase in advertising was not effective / did not
          achieve the desired effect on sales.
                                                                                               3
          Payment to creditors
          Comment on creditors       Figures 

          Creditors were underpaid by R75 000 (while purchases increased; if this trend
          continues, creditors will decrease credit limits, stop supplying on credit, may
          incur interest charges).                                                             2

          achieve sales targets for May 2019. Quote figures.
          TWO strategies          Figures      

          Introduced delivery service, R19 000                                                 4
          Explain whether these were good strategies, or not. Provide ONE point
          with figures.
          Comment on collection  Figures 

          Not effective:
          • Collection from debtors was poor (business will face cash challenges in
             respect of future collections) – less than budget by R95 000 or 20%
          • Cash flow problems impacted on payments to creditors – paid R75 000
             less than budget
          • Delivery service impacted on cash flow – paid R19 000 which was not
             budgeted
          • Small increase in total sales by R4 000
          OR
          Effective:
          • Increase in credit sales was R36 000 – increase in number of customers
          • Increase in sales was R4 000 – increase in number of customers                     2
