                                             MEMORANDUM

                                           SEPTEMBER 2019

                                             NATIONAL
                                        SENIOR CERTIFICATE

                                                  GRADE 12
MARKS: 300

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 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 incorrect, mark the workings provided.
4.    If a pre-adjustment figure is shown as the final figure, award one mark. Not the method mark for the answer. Note:
      if figures are stipulated in memo for components of workings, these do not carry the method for final 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.    This memorandum is not for public distribution, as certain items might imply incorrect treatment. The adjustments
      made are due to nuances in a certain question.
8.    Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section of the question cannot be a final negative.
9.    Where method marks are awarded for operation, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the answer
      before awarding the mark.
10.   Operation’ means ‘Check operation’. ‘One part correct’ means ‘Operation & one part correct’. Note: check
      operation must be +,-,x,÷, or per candidates operation.
11.   In awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that is incorrect, indicate
      with a . Note: do not award marks for workings if numerator and denominator are swapped-this also applies to
      ratios.
12.   Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.
13.   Codes: f=foreign item; p=placement.

                                     This memorandum consists of 17 pages

                Quote TWO financial indicators.
                Candidate must compare both companies
                Any two financial indicators   Figures for both companies   Explanation  

                •    Current ratio of Northwood Ltd is 3,6 : 1 and Westland Ltd. is 2,4 : 1
                •    Acid-test ratio of Northwood Ltd is 0,6 :1 and Westland Ltd. is 1,2 : 1
                •    The stock turnover rate of Northwood Ltd. is 4 times and Westland Ltd. is
                     8 times

                Explanation
                • Westlands Ltd. has a better current ratio and is able to cover current
                  liabilities whereas Northwood Ltd’s. ratio is too high – funds tied up in stock
                  (current assets)/not used profitably
                • Westlands Ltd. has a better Acid-Test Ratio than Northwood Ltd.
                  Northwood Ltd. has too much stock on hand which resulted in the poor
                  Acid-Test Ratio
                                                                                                           6
                • Westlands Ltd. is selling its stock faster (8 times) during the year as
                  compared to Northwood Ltd. (4 times).

      4.3.2     Northwood Ltd. paid off a large portion of its loan during the financial
                year. Quote TWO financial indicators with relevant figures to show why
                this was not a good decision taken by the directors.

                ROTCE: is 18,4%

                Comment
                The company is at low risk. Therefore there was no need to pay a large
                portion of the loan.
                It is also positively geared. The ROTCE (18,4%) is higher than the interest
