If answer incorrect, mark the workings provided. 4. Ifa 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.
