                               MARKING GUIDELINE
GENERAL RULES:

1.   Award full marks for the correct final answers. If the answer is incorrect, mark the workings provided.
     If a workings figure/amount is shown as a final answer, allocate the working mark.

2.   “Method” marks are denoted by 

        In calculations and final totals, at least one part of the workings must be correct to earn the mark.

        In cases where answers of previous questions must be used, check the transfer.

        Ignore brackets on statements, but check the operation before awarding marks.

3.   Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section cannot be a negative (foreign items).

4.   For questions requiring explanations and comments, award part-marks. A good explanation will
     normally mention and explain a point. Beware of alternative wording reflecting the same points. This
     marking guideline provides some explanations – they are not conclusive. Read the candidates’
     responses and give credit for their interpretations.

5.   Where appropriate/acceptable, accept recognisable abbreviations.

6.   This marking guideline is not conclusive. Educators are still expected to work through the entire paper
     and make reasonable adjustments within the framework of the mark allocation. Also read the learners’
     responses to the interpretative questions, and give credit for valid explanations (taking into account
     language difficulties.)

                            This marking guideline consists of 17 pages.

1.2    Is the FIFO method appropriate for this product? Explain.
       Yes / No 

       A valid explanation 

       No: low value goods bought in bulk / value of goods very similar / more control and
       documentation for FIFO (record keeping)

       Yes: better control of products / can detect loss easily / distinguish older versions from
       newer ones / customers look for latest releases.
                                                                                                         3

                Although he owes SARS R2 464 (2.1.2), if he was not registered for VAT, then he

14                                          ACCOUNTING                                  (SEPTEMBER 2014)

       5.2.4 The CEO wants to increase the loan by an additional R300 000
             to finance extensions and renovations to the building. What
             advice would you offer her? Quote appropriate figures and/or
             financial indicators to support your opinion.
       TWO valid points making reference to ratios and figures  

       The debt/equity ratio has improved (low risk). This ratio decreased due to a repayment of
       the loan, as well as shares being issued. (0,64 : 1 to 0,5 : 1)
       Although the return on capital employed is much higher than the lending rates at banks,
       it did show a decline. There is still however, positive gearing (there was no need to pay
       back a portion of the loan) (23,5% and bank rate is 9,5%)
       It is possible that renovations and extensions may improve the image and productivity of
       the business – could be a long term proposition.                                               4

       5.2.5 The directors plan to issue additional shares at R6,00 per
             share in the new year. Will prospective investors be eager to
             buy shares in this business? Explain, making use of relevant
             financial indicators.
       Yes / No 

       Explanation      figures and/or financial indicators 
       Relevant ratios:   NAV and market price of shares

       The NAV showed a small increase from the previous year. It is still not much higher than
       the average price of shares (R4,00).
       The market price is also low, although it did show an improvement. This is a clear
       indication of investor confidence (supply and demand).
       The asking price is much higher than the value of the shares.                                  5

       5.2.6 The existing shareholders are pleased with the performance of
             their investment. Are they justified? Comment on the returns
             (ROSHE), earnings (EPS) and dividends (DPS).
       Yes 
       Mention of the trends in the ratios   
       Comment for each , or a combined comprehensive comment   

       The ROSHE increased (refer to 5.2.2(b)) from 17,5%
       The EPS also increased to 101 cents from 85 cents
       The DPS increased from 65 cents to 78 cents.

       The high % ROSHE may be misleading due to previous year’s performance.
       It is still higher than interest rates on alternative investments.
       The earnings per share indicate a drop in profits. The higher dividends may be a ploy to
       keep shareholders interested in the business.

       No option:
       Only if candidate’s interpretation is based on an incorrect ROSHE calculation.
                                                                                                      7
