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 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 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 e.g. R715 500 in Q1.2.1 would be 2 marks in final answer, not 3. 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 before awarding the mark. 10. ‘Operation’ means ‘Check operation’. ‘One part correct’ means ‘Operation & one part correct’. Note: Check operation means must be +, –, x or ÷ per memo, but some items can be + or – such as Prov for bad debts adj. 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 that some candidates provide valid alternatives beyond the memorandum. 13 Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation. This memorandum consists of 15 pages.
