                                          2015
                             MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:                                           ACCOUNTING (10710)

MARKING PRINCIPLES:

1.    Penalties for foreign items are applied only if the candidate is not losing marks elsewhere
      in the question for that item (no foreign item penalty for misplaced item). No double
      penalty applied.
2.    Full marks for correct answer. If answer incorrect, mark the workings provided.
3.    If a pre-adjustment figure is shown as a final figure, allocate the part-mark for the
      workings for that figure (not the method mark for the answer).
4.    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.
5.    Where indicated, part-marks may be awarded to differentiate between differing qualities
      of answers from candidates.
6.    This memorandum is not for public distribution, as certain items might imply incorrect
      treatment. The adjustments made are due to nuances in certain questions.
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 before awarding the mark.
9.    In awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that
      is incorrect at least in part.
10.   Codes: f=foreign item; p=placement/presentation

1.2.1 Why should the balance of the Creditors’ control account correspond
      with the total of the Creditors’ list?
Any acceptable answer 

      It is an internal control measure – figures in the journals are posted to the
       Creditors’ control account and the Creditors’ ledger. 
      The Creditors' control account is a summary of all the transactions related
       to creditors and the list is a total of all the Creditors’ balances.

2.5   Waste Traders anticipates that demand will increase in the next financial
      year to 600 000 units. They aim to increase the number of units
      produced to meet this demand. They expect fixed costs to remain
      unchanged.

The number of units that must be sold in order to cover the Fixed Costs.
Thereafter, the manufacturer will make a profit. 

FIXED COST:

As more units are produced the Fixed Costs per unit will decline. 
