Accounting Grade 11 Eastern Cape November 2016 Memo (Eng)

Downloaded from hlayiso.com NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE GRADE 11 NOVEMBER 2016 ACCOUNTING MARKING GUIDELINE (MEMORANDUM) MARKS: 300 GENERAL PRINCIPLES: 1 Where calculations are required, award full marks for the correct final answer. If the answer is incorrect, mark the workings provided. If the working amount is shown as a final answer, award the relevant marks allocated for workings (Income statement), and not the method mark for the answer. 2 Method marks are denoted by .  For calculations and final totals, at least one part of the workings must be correct for the method mark to be earned. For totals – inspect operation and reasonableness of answer before awarding the mark.  In cases where answers of previous questions must be used (carried forward answers), check the transfer.  Unless otherwise indicated, the positive or negative effect of any figure must be considered to award the mark. If no sign (+/-) or bracket is provided, assume that the figure is positive.  In awarding method marks, ensure that full marks are not awarded for any item that is incorrect at least in part. 3 For questions requiring explanations and comments (2 marks or more), award part-marks for incomplete answers. A good comment will normally mention and explain a point. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline, and of different ways to say the same thing. Note that the marking guideline only offer suggested answers. 4 Where penalties are applied (such as foreign items, misplaced items, omitted details, etc.), the marks for that section cannot be a negative. Penalties will be indicated next to the relevant questions where applicable. 5 Educators are advised to work through the question paper and compare with this guideline, before marking. If adjustments are necessary, do so within the framework of the mark allocation. This memorandum consists of 15 pages.

This must include an improved collection policy from debtors. 6 4.4 Comment on the percentage return earned by Partner Lyanda. Should she be satisfied with this percentage? Explain, quote relevant financial indicators and/or figures. Yes/No  Financial indicator with comparative figures  Comment  Lyanda earned a high return (54%). This is better that the rate of alternative investments. She may be dissatisfied because of the drop from last year (56%) and the fact that Keenan has achieved a very high return (90%) which was also an increase in his earnings from last year (84%). 5 4.5 Partner Keenan feels that the business should increase the loan. Partner Lyanda is not keen to incur more debt. Briefly explain who you would support. Provide TWO financial indicators (with figures) to motivate your choice. Financial indicators with comparative figures   Comment – motivation for support of one partner  Financial indicators : Debt/equity was 0,6 : 1 and is now 0,25 : 1 (refer 4.2.2.) Return on capital employed was 30,3% and is now 33,5% Comment: The business is lowly geared and is positively geared. The loan is used effectively to generate a high return. There was no urgency to repay the loan. I would support Keenan as the loan only cost 12% and is able to generate 33,5% return. 6 Q4 40 Copyright reserved Please turn over
