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 penalty for misplaced 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 a final figure, allocate the part-mark for the working for that

figure (not the method mark for the answer). Note: if figures are stipulated in memo for components of workings, these do not carry the method mark for final answer as well.

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 certain questions.

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 and at least one part must be correct before awarding the mark. 10. Operation means 'check operation'. 'One part correct' means operation and one part correct. Note;

check operation must be +, -, x, ÷, or per memo. 11. In awarding method marks, ensure that candidates do not get full marks for any item that is incorrect

at least in part. Indicate with a . 12. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline. 13. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.

Refer to information A. The owner asked the bookkeeper, Ray Duncan, why the deposit of R2 050 was not yet deposited. Ray said that she was very busy at that time and could not deposit the money. She kept it in her drawer and forgot about it. She brought it to the owner and said that she will deposit it as soon as possible.

Explain why this adjustment has to be made and why the R780 has to be added to Trade and other Payables.

The cheque is post dated for the coming year . The cheque will not be paid this year, therefore the entry in the cash payments journal did actually not decrease the bank balance

It is shown as a creditor because the business must be aware that this payment must be provided for as the recipient of the cheque can bank the cheque any given time from the date on the cheque.
