                                       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 x.
13. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
14. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.

                     This marking guidelines consists of 19 pages.

                Answer for THREE marks:
                · BEP has been calculated at 112 100 units and they are only
                   producing and selling 110 500 units. Therefore they are
                   1 600 units short. Thus not making profit.
                · In 2017 the BEP was 78 000 units and they managed to
                   produce and sell 98 000 units, thereby registering a profit on
                   20 000 units. This will not happen in 2018.
                Answer for TWO marks:
                · The BEP has increased from 78 000 units to 112 100 units /
                   by 34 100 units.                                                     4
