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). 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. ‘Operation’ means check operation. ‘One part correct’ means operation and one part correct. Note: ‘check operation’ must be +, -, x, - as per memo. 9. ‘One part correct’ means operation and one part correct. Where method marks are awarded for one part correct, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the answer and at least one part must be correct before awarding the mark. If a figure has earned a method-mark, this will be regarded as ‘one part correct’. 10. In calculations, do not award marks for workings if numerator and 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. In such a case do not award a method-mark. Indicate with a . 12. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline. 13. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation. 2 ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com ACCOUNTING MEMORANDUM PAPER 1 GRADE 11 QUESTION 1: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (55 marks; 42 minutes) Golden Gate Traders Statement of Comprehensive Income (Income Statement) for the year ending 30 June 2020 Sales (337 600√ – 1600√) 336 000 Cost of Sales (Award 3 marks if =sales + 4000 /1.6) (212 500) √√  Gross Profit 123 500  Other operating income 18 687  Rent income (17 836 – 1 456 √ √ ) 16 380 Discount received (600 – 100 √) 500 Trading stock surplus 437 √ √ Bad debts recovered 1 370 √ Gross operating income 142 187  Other operating expenses (136 587)  Repairs 1 618 Bad debts 1510 Telephone (2 350 + 230 √ ) 2 580 Rates 2 850 Insurance (4 120 - 1 000 √ √ ) 3 120 Packing materials (13 500 x 80%) 10800√√ Water and electricity 4 830 Salaries (78 000 + 4 200 √ ) 82 200 U.I.F. contributions (3 120 + 42 √ + 42 √ ) 3 204 Provision for bad debts adjustment 400 √ Depreciation 23 475√ Operating Profit 5600  Interest income (1 125 + 375 √ √ ) 1 500 Profit before Interest Expenses 7 100  Interest expenses (6 000) √  Net Profit for the Year 1 100  40 3 ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com ACCOUNTING MEMORANDUM PAPER 1 GRADE 11 Golden Gate Traders Notes to Financial Statements as at 30 June 2020 1.2.1 Trade and other receivables Trade debtors (31 900 - 1 600 √ + 1 370√ ) 31 670 Provision for bad debts(550 + 400) (950) √ Net trade debtors 30 720 Prepaid expenses (must be same as Insurance adjustment) 1 000  Accrued income (must be same as Interest income adjustment) 375  32 095 6 1.2.2 Trade and other payables Trade creditors (21 363 + 2 000√) 23 363 √ Income received in advance (must be same as Rent adjustment) 1 456  Accrued expenses (must be same as Telephone adjustment) 230√ Creditors for salaries (4 200 - 840 -150 - 42) 3 168 √ SARS : PAYE 840 √ Medical aid fund 150 √ U.I.F.
