MARKING GUIDELINES
Time: 2 hours 200 marks
These marking guidelines are prepared for use by examiners and sub-examiners,
all of whom are required to attend a standardisation meeting to ensure that the
guidelines are consistently interpreted and applied in the marking of candidates'
scripts.
The IEB will not enter into any discussions or correspondence about any marking
guidelines. It is acknowledged that there may be different views about some
matters of emphasis or detail in the guidelines. It is also recognised that,
without the benefit of attendance at a standardisation meeting, there may be
different interpretations of the application of the marking guidelines.

QUESTION 4 INVENTORY
Refer to the Information Booklet for information relating to Rhodes Cricket
Supplies.
4.1 Provide one advantage of both the Periodic and Perpetual Inventory systems.
Advantage of the Periodic system:
Simple, cheap
It is a cost effective system as there is very little outlay for expensive
equipment. Feasible for businesses where it is difficult to determine the
cost price of a single item.
Advantage of the Perpetual system:
GP can be determined
Cost of sales is known
Stock thefts are easily and quickly identified. Better control over stock
Alternative advantages will be marked.
4.2 A number of cricket bats were stolen during the November robbery. No
entry has been made to account for this theft. Calculate the number of
cricket bats stolen.
(1 100 + 15 000 )= 16 100 – 2 650 = 13 450 – 13 430 = 20 bats stolen
4.3 Calculate the value of the closing stock of cricket bats.
2 650 × [14 409 500 (13 470 000 + 939 500)/ 16 100 (15 000 + 1 100) =
895] = 2 371 750
898 = 2 379 700

4.4 By calculating how long the closing stock will last (stock holding period)
determine on what date the owner has to place his next order for cricket
bats so as not to run out. The supplier takes 14 days to deliver after the
order has been placed.
Calculation of stock holding period:
Cost of sales [939 500 + 13 470 000 – 2 371 750] = 12 037 750
COS: ignore use of formula.
Implied total if calculation in formula
From 4.3
2 371 750 × 365
12 037 750 1
14 409 500
14 391 600
Or (895 × 13 430)= 12 019 850 + (20 × 895) = 17 900 =12 037 750
= 71, 9 days or 72 days
The order needs to be placed:
From above
71, 9 days – 14 days = 57, 9 days
January 31 days therefore the order needs to be placed on about the
27 February date correct to answer

4.5 Calculate the cost of sales for the cricket bags sold.
60 000 + 1 260 000 (1 000 × 1 260) + 1 417 500 (1 050 × 1 350) + 27 600
(20 × 1 380) = 2 765 100
OR
60 000 + [4 051 500 – 270 000 (200 × 1 350)] – 1 076 400 (780 × 1 380) =
2 765 100
4.6 Clive Rhodes, the owner, is concerned that the business is not achieving
their intended mark-up on the sale of cricket bags. The business aims to
achieve a mark-up of 60% at all times. Calculate the mark-up % achieved
on the sale of cricket bags.
From 4.5 from 4.5
4 112 800 – 2 765 100 = 1 347 700/ 2 765 100 × 100/1
= 48, 74%
If used mark-up formulae (GP/COS × 100 or Sales /COS × 100 – 100)
4.7 Provide (does not need to be explained) two reasons why the business has
not achieved their intended mark-up on the sale of cricket bags.
Linked to 4.6. if actual is higher accept relevant answer
Do not accept: donations, drawings, deficits
Accept: damages, debtors allowances, different valuation method, loyalty
programmes, error in processing selling price, cost price increasing but
selling price stays the same
Reason 1:
Too many cash discounts on the selling price granted to customers.
May have been holding too much stock and need cash so sold below the
intended mark-up%
Reason 2:
Seasonal sales may have seen stock being sold at a lower price. They may
be moving old stock to make room for new brands etc.
