Unless otherwise indicated in the marking guidelines, 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 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 marking guidelines 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. 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. 9. 'Operation' means 'check operation'. 'one part correct' means 'operation and one part correct'. Note: Check operation must be +, -, x, ÷, or as per marking guidelines. 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. Indicate with a . 12. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline. Note that one comment could contain different aspects. 13. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation. This marking guideline consists of 8 pages. ### Page 2 2 ACCOUNTING P1 (EC/NOVEMBER 2020) QUESTION 1: FIXED ASSETS 1.1 1.1.1 False  1.1.2 False  1.1.3 True  3 1.2.1 Do a calculation to proof that the diminished balance-method of depreciation is used for vehicles.
