Accounting Grade 12 Paper 1 KZN June 2020 Memo

CUUCALIVII Department: Education PROVINCE OF KWAZULU-NATAL ACCOUNTING MARKING GUIDELINE JUNE 2020 PAPER ONE Pree ee eee ee a eee NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE GRADE 12 MARKS: 150 MARKING PRINCIPLES: 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. Penalties for placement or poor presentation (e.g. details) are applied only if the candidate is earning marks on the figures for that item. Full marks for correct answer. If answer incorrect, mark the workings provided. 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. 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. Where indicated, part-marks may be awarded to differentiate between differing qualities of answers from candidates. 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. Where penalties are applied, the marks for that section of the question cannot be a final negative. Where method marks are awarded for operation, the marker must inspect the reasonableness of the answer before awarding the mark. Operation’ means ‘Check operation’. ‘One part correct’ means ‘Operation & one part correct’. Note: check operation must be +,-,x,+, or per candidates operation. In awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that is incorrect, indicate with a Ed. Note: do not award marks for workings if numerator and denominator are swapped-this also applies to ratios. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline. Codes: f=foreign item; p=placement. This memorandum consists of 8 pages
