Accounting Grade 11 P2 National November 2019 Memo (English)

Downloaded from hlayiso.com NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE GRADE 11 ACCOUNTING P2 EXEMPLAR NOVEMBER 2019 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 10 pages.

The net increase in the cash balance was R285 000/from R120 000 to R405 000.  Fixed deposit decreased (matured); an inflow of R220 000. This could explain the increase in the bank balance (if money not used). What advice would you give to Mary? Provide ONE point. Quote figures. Mary should have re-invested the money/extended the investment period of the fixed deposit. It will earn a higher interest (11% p.a.) than the interest on the current account. Unless she is keeping this for a specific urgent purpose, she should invest most of this in the fixed deposit so that she can earn a return (of 11%).  4 4.2.1 Calculate the stockholding period for 2019. Use average stock in your calculation. ½ (170 000 + 85 000) x 365 or 12 460 000 = 127 500  x 365 or 12  460 000  = 101 days or 3,3 months  OR using the STR: 365/3,6 = 101 days or 12/3,6 = 3,3 months 4 4.2.2 Comment on the stock turnover rate and the stockholding period for 2019. Quote figures or indicators. Explain why she should be concerned about this. Stock turnover rate decreased from 5,6 to 3,6 times.  Stockholding period increased from 66 days (2 months) to 101 days (3 months).  Both these indicators reflect that Mary is probably keeping too much stock on hand.  She could be earning interest on the excess amount invested in stock/This asset does not earn a return.  What advice would you give to Mary?

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Accounting/P2 10 DBE/November 2019 NSC – Grade 11 Exemplar – Marking Guidelines 4.3.1 Mary used two deliberate strategies to improve sales in 2019. Identify the TWO strategies. Quote the relevant figures. Explanation (with figures) Strategy 1 She decreased the mark-up % from 60% to 45%.  She allowed more people to buy on credit; 2018 cash sales Strategy 2 were more than 50% of total sales, while in 2019, credit sales were a lot more than 50% of sales.  4 4.3.2 Bear in mind that the cost price of stock increased by the inflation rate of 6% and provide evidence that these strategies benefited the business. Quote figures. If the same stock was sold in 2019, cost of sales based on past volumes would be R339 200.  Cost of sales in 2019 is R460 000 (which is 36% more), which means the volume of goods sold is 36% more (which will increase profit).  OR Cost of sales in 2019 is R460 000, which is 44% higher than last year; inflation of 6% is part of this change; the rest is increase in volume of goods sold. NOTE: Learners could use similar reasoning with Sales or Gross profit. 4 4.4 Comment on whether or not Mary has been controlling her debtors and creditors appropriately. Quote figures. She has not been controlling debtors well, as the collection period increased from 26 days to 40 days.  She is also taking longer to settle the amounts owed to creditors – this period increased from 30 days to 38 days.  Comment on how this would affect the business. Slow-paying debtors will affect the cash flow, and the business will battle to settle its debts (as evidenced by the longer period to pay creditors).  4 TOTAL MARKS 25 TOTAL: 150 Copyright reserved
