                             MARKING GUIDELINE
MARKS: 300

MARKING PRINCIPLES:
1.    Penalties for foreign items are applied only if the candidate is not losing marks elsewhere in the
      question for that item (no foreign item penalty for misplaced items). 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 the answer is 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 before awarding the mark.
9.    'Operation' means 'Check operation'. 'One part correct' means 'Operation and one part correct'.
      Note: Check operation must be +, –, x or ÷ or per candidates’ response.
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. In such cases, do not award the method mark. Indicate by way of 
12.   Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
13.   Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.

                            This marking guideline consists of 18 pages.

 2.2.2    Explain the effect on gross profit if the FIFO method is used.
          Any valid point 

          greater (an increased) gross profit.
          The gross profit will be more compared to when weighted average
          method is used.

 3.2.4    JP wants to adjust the selling price of ONE of the products. What
          advice would you offer? Provide a valid reason for your suggestion,
          quoting relevant figures.

          Product and explanation  figure 

          Consider decreasing the price of suitcases to increase sales.
          The competitor has maintained his selling price, and has possibly attracted
          many customers.
          The increased selling and distribution costs was not effective to increase
          sales.
          A reduced price will attract more customers which will require production
          to increase.

          THREE-mark option: (if figure provided)
          Increase the price of laptop bags to be just below the price of the
          competitor
          The competitor charges R265.                                                    4

 4.2.3    At the annual general meeting, the board of directors proposed the
          following TWO programmes:

          Explain why the directors included these proposals in their
          directors’ report. Provide TWO points.

          TWO valid points  

              Companies are expected to contribute to the communities that
               support them (corporate social responsibilities)
              The King Code prescribes that companies concentrate on the triple-
               bottom line and not just profits. They are expected to put back into the
               community as well as the environment.
              Positive publicity will improve their image and their support.                4

          Provide a different benefit of each of the programmes proposed, to
          the company.

          TWO points each  

              Programme 1       Developing staff will motivate them and encourage
                                them to be more productive.
                                Staff development is human investment. May lead
                                to better productivity in future.
                                Will encourage younger generation to compete for
                                positions by improving their skills.
              Programme 2       Improve the image of the company in the eye of
                                investors
                                More exposure of the company

5.3      It was a good decision for the directors to increase the loan. Explain
         by quoting TWO financial indicators with figures to support the
         director’s decision.
         Financial indicator   and Figure   Explanation  
         The debt-equity ratio increases from 0,1 : 1 to 0,5 : 1.
         The return on total capital increase from 21,2% to 32,6% (see 5.2)
         Explanation
         Although the business is making greater use of loans than last year as
         reflected by the increase in the debt/equity ratio, ROTCE is much higher
         than the interest rate (cost of the loan).
         Debt-equity ratio is lowly geared and the return on capital employed is
         32,6% and is much higher than the 15% interest on loan. Positively
         geared.                                                                                      6

5.4      One of the shareholders want to sell their shares at 550 cents per
         share. Explain why the business should not repurchased these
         shares. Quote TWO financial indicators (with figures) to support your
         opinion.
         Financial indicator   and Figure  
          The NAV of 363,7 or 364 (see 5.2) is less than the 550 cents
          Market value of 380 cents is lower than the 550 cents
          This shareholder would not even be able to sell these shares on the
           JSE.
          Although there is an upward trend in the MP and the NAV, it is still not
           good practice to pay an amount that is way above the share price.                4

5.5      Identify TWO major decisions taken by the directors, as evident

           New shares were issued.                 This increased the capital,

           Shares were re-purchased,               This would raise the NAV, EPS +
           R854 000 was spent. see 5.1.3           DPS because the numbers of
                                                   shares are lower.

         The company paid out 89,3% of EPS last year as they had no/little plans

         They decided to retain 58,8% of the EPS this year as they have plans to
