                                         MARKING GUIDELINES

MARKS: 150
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 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 the 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 and
    at least one part must be correct 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 per memo.
10. In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator and denominator are swapped – this also applies to
    ratios.
11. When awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that is incorrect at least
    in part. Indicate with a .
12. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
13. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.

                            These marking guidelines consist of 9 pages.

1.2.3   Provide ONE point why you would agree with Partner Naomi.

        ONE valid point       Part-marks for unclear/incomplete answers

           GAAP prescribes the historical (original) cost principle when recording
            assets and only recognising profits and/or losses on disposal (i.e.
            prudence).
           IFRS provides for revaluation (fair value) provided that this estimate can be
            measured reliably (evidence).
           Essentially, financial statements must not be overstated to create a false
            impression on profitability.
           Partners' current accounts will be inflated with a non-cash item which will
            not be a true reflection of their net worth.                                          2
