                                      NSC – Grade 11 Exemplar

          Adjustments and additional information:

          A.    Provide for R417 300 depreciation for the financial year.

          B.    On 29 June 2019, F Mazisi, a debtor, returned merchandise. A credit
                note for R4 500 was issued to her. The cost price was R3 000. No
                entries were made for the return of the merchandise. These items were
                placed back in stock.

          C.    The insolvent estate of a debtor, N Johnson, paid out 45 cents in the
                rand and made a direct deposit of R3 015 on 30 June 2019. This
                transaction was not recorded.

          D.    The provision for bad debts must be decreased to R10 000.

          E.    The stock count on 30 June 2019 revealed:

                     Trading stock           R553 650
                     Packing material        R3 600

          F.    The advertising expense is a fixed monthly contract with the local
                newspaper for the 12 months ending 30 June 2019. The monthly charge
                was increased by 12% on 1 March 2019. The premium for June 2019
                was still outstanding.

          G.    The loan statement received from Kim Bank reflected the following:

                    Balance on 1 July 2018                                     R902 400
                    Repayments during the year (including interest)            R151 200
                    Interest capitalised                                         ?
                    Balance on 30 June 2019                                    R810 000

          H.    An employee was left out of the Salary Journal. His details are:

                     GROSS           DEDUCTIONS            PENSION FUND         NET

                The employer contributes R1,50 for every R1 deducted from the
                employee's salary in respect of his pension fund.

          I.    The monthly rent has remained unchanged during the financial year.
                During May 2019, the tenant paid R9 000 for repairs to the premises.
                As Masala Traders is responsible for all repairs, the tenant deducted this
                amount from the rent that he paid for May 2019. Note that the rent for
                June 2019 has not been received yet.

QUESTION 4: ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION                         (35 marks; 25 minutes)

4.1       FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR 2019

          The information relates to Ron-Y Fashions with partners Ronel Henning and
          Yvonne Twerefoo. The business opened on 1 March 2017 and sells ladies'
          clothes and jewellery.

          Ronel Henning has given up a part-time job in order to run this business. She
          earned R102 000 p.a. in her previous job. Yvonne Twerefoo has decided to
          keep her existing job, where she is earning R109 800 p.a. She has decided
          not to work in Ron-Y Fashions for the first year (in other words she is a silent
          partner for the first year). She will review her situation at a later stage.

          REQUIRED:

          Show ALL calculations. Where comments are required, refer to figures in the
          statements provided or ratios/percentages calculated by you in order to
          support your answer.

          4.1.1      The business was started on 1 March 2017. The partners are
                     concerned about the financial results during the first year of
                     operation.

                        Calculate the % return on the partners' equity (use average
                         equity).                                                                 (6)

          4.1.2      Ronel Henning is concerned about whether she has made the right
                     decision in resigning from her previous job.

                      Calculate the total amount earned by Ronel Henning during the
                       first year of operation of this business.                                  (5)

                      What percentage of the total net income did she earn and what
                       percentage did her partner, Yvonne, earn?                                  (5)

                      Will the partners be satisfied with the amounts calculated above?
                       Explain briefly. Quote figures.                                            (4)

4.2       FINANCIAL DECISIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAR

          Ronel Henning wants Yvonne Twerefoo to resign from her existing job and
          work as an active partner in the business in order to increase the returns
          earned by the partners.
          If this is the case:
           They will retrench one of the three shop assistants, in other words he/she
            will lose his/her job.
           They will reduce the accounting fee by 80% (as Yvonne will be able to do
            most of the accounting).
           Yvonne will provide an extra R50 000 capital, which will be used to pay off
            part of the loan at the beginning of the financial year. Note that the loan
            was received from Ronel's father at 15% p.a. interest, which is not
            capitalised. It was also agreed that 50% of the loan must be settled at the
            end of the second year of business.
           The partners' salary allowance will increase to R104 880 p.a. each.

          REQUIRED:
          Assuming that profitability (and all income and expenses) remains the same
          in the second year of business:
          4.2.1      Calculate the change in net profit if Yvonne decides to work fulltime.
                     Show workings.                                                             (7)
          4.2.2      Show the effect of this change to Yvonne's total earnings, if she
                     gives up her job.                                                          (4)
          4.2.3      Briefly explain TWO other advantages for the business if Yvonne
                     works on a full-time basis in the business.                                (2)
