3.INTERNAL CONTROLS AND ETHICS
Excellent answer = 3 marks; Good = 2; Poor = 1; Incorrect = 0
3.1. Twala feels that the partners have not been controlling their cash resources well.
They have big overdraft which is costing significant interest
Fixed deposit and savings account are not earning great interest
The mortgage loan interest is 15%
3.2. Twala feels that she is bearing an unfair financial burden in this business, especially as she works
much longer hours than Banks.
Twala feels that her bonus and increased salary are not enough for the extra time he puts in
She has contributed more capital while Banks has withdrawn his capital
Twala has provided interest free loan to boost cash flow problems
Banks has taken large drawings
.
3.3 Twala is not happy with the write down of the ‘Vula’ range of stock. See information 2e. You are told that
‘Vula’ computers were purchases from a business owned by Bernie Banks’ wife.
Banks did not disclose his wife’s interest in this transaction which ethically unacceptable
It is an unwise decision to buy this stock as it is not selling well.
The partnership agreement should prohibit such transactions or at least provide full disclosure
3.4 Thwala tried to contact a new debtor who owes R32 000, but his phone number appears to be false.
Partner Banks has sold computers on credit to the customer when Twala was busy with other
customers.
Banks has not applied good control practices in opening accounts.
All new debtors must be properly screened before being allowed to open accounts.
Credit references must be carefully checked and credit limits be set.
On large orders deposit must be paid especially if they do not have the track record with the business
There is a possibility that stock was stolen and fictitious debtor was created
Twala should investigate the documentation carefully. (12)

1.3 Comment on the liquidity position for 2019. Quote THREE relevant financial
indicators (actual ratios or figures) to support your answer.
Comment:
Any valid comment
Two marks for a global overall on whether the liquidity situation is good or bad (this may
be mentioned in the section on financial indicators).
Expected response:
The liquidity is not satisfactory. Even though the current assets exceeds the current
liabilities, alot of the this is in the form of stock and there is no certainty that the stock will
be sold in time to be able to settle the current liabilities.
Financial indicators (actual ratios or figures):
Quoting of relevant indicators
Any three valid ratios or figures
Current ratio: This declined from 3,4 : 1 → 1,1 : 1
Acid test ratio: This declined from 1,2 : 1→ 0,2 : 1
Stock turnover rate: This declined from 3,9 times → 2,3 times
Debtors period: This increased from 40 days →48,7 days 8
1.4 The owners are not satisfied with the rate at which the stock is being sold. Explain
why they feel this way by quoting a relevant financial indicator and actual figures,
ratios or % to support your explanation.
Explanation (must make mention of the rate at which clothing should
turnover to earn full two marks)
Financial indicator
Figure
The stock turnover rate has declined from 3,9 times a year to only 2,3 times a year.
This is inadequate for a clothing store. Clothing changes with seasons and should
therefore change close to 4 times a year.

1.5 Discuss THREE reasons why a business should not have too much stock.
Three valid reasons
Possible reasons:
There is a chance that stock could become out-dated and then it will be very
difficult to sell
There is an increased chance of theft
Increased insurance costs
You will also need more storage room 6
1.6 Will the owners of this business be satisfied with the return on equity? Explain by

OR:
No

Improved from 180 days to 104 days
Liquidity has improved, movement of stock is better compared to the previous year.
Stock turnover rate
Improved from 5 times to 7 times
The stock is selling faster or indication of good turnover / possible losses due to price
reductions are eliminated.
Debtors’ Collection period
Improved from 114 days to 99 days
Debtors are paying slowly, the normal credit terms is 30 days
B Explain the results of the debt-equity ratio.
Ratios and trend comment
Reduced from 0.53:1 to 0.3 :1 [also refer to calculation 3.3.2 (C) ]
The business is positively geared / financial risk is low / will be seen as creditworthy
C Explain whether M.Mona should be satisfied with his returns.
Yes/No
Comment
Yes
His returns are high at 57.7% compared to the interest on fixed deposit at 8% p.a. [also refer

in 2019, compared to the 21.7% earned in 2018. Give TWO
reasons for your answer.
Yes

This is more than the 9% return that is being earned on alternative
investments.
3.4 Is this business positively or negatively geared? Give a reason for (3)

3.6 Comment on this businesses liquidity position for the year ended (6)
29 February 2019. Identify and quote TWO financial indicators to
support your answer.
This business is still liquid, although both the current ratio
and acid test ratios have decreased since last year.
Current ratio was 2.6 : 1 and decreased to 2.5: 1
Acid Test Ratio was 1.6 : 1 and decreased to 1.2 : 1
Stock turnover rate of 8 times is sufficient for a stationery
shop.
ACTIVITY B4
1 What does liquidity mean? 1
The ability of the business to have sufficient cash available to pay its obligations √
It is the ability of a business to settle its current debts. √
Liquidity is assessed by the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. √
Any 1x1
2 Explain the difference between current ratio and the acid test ratio. 4
Current ratio:
Assesses the relationship between current assets and current liabilities to identify whether the
business is likely to experience liquidity problems.
Acid test ratio:
Assesses the ability of a business to settle short term debts without having to rely on the selling of
inventory.
3 Identify THREE liquidity ratios which they may look at to address their cash problems. Do not 6
mention ratios mentioned in 2.
Rate of stock turnover
Stock holding period
Average debtors collection period
Average creditors payments
Any 3x2=6

Calculation
Non-current liabilities: Owners’ equity
240 000:1 246 625

Comment
The debt/equity ratio is very low, which is satisfactory.
It is lower than in 2018.
5 Calculate the acid test ratio of the business on 28 February 2019. 6
Calculation
(Current assets – inventory): current liabilities
(100 000 – 60 000): 68 000

Comment
The business is not very liquid.
It can pick up cash flow problems if they don’t sell their stock fast.
6 Calculate the stock turnover rate. 4
Cost of sales
Average stock
= 380 000 .

whether they have reached their goal.
Gross profit x 100
Cost of sales
8 GJ Traders could not achieve a mark-up of 70%. Provide TWO possible reasons why they could 4
not achieve the mark-up percentage.
Too much trade discount
