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/dates) are applied only if the

candidate is earning marks on the figures for that item.3. Full marks for a correct answer. If answer is 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).

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. 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. Be aware of candidates who provide valid alternatives beyond the marking guideline.

11. Codes: f = foreign item; p = placement/presentation.

replaced Loss due to damages arising from third parties because of negligence on the

part of the driver Losses due to an accident may be more than the saving on insurance in one

4.6On 30 June 2015 the price of Moya Ltd shares on the JSE was R5,20. Should the existing shareholders be satisfied with the aspects below? Explain and quote figures from the question to support your answers.

Opinion Any valid explanation with quoted figures

No/Existing shareholder should not be satisfied (1)

Market price: Market/JSE price of R5,20 is lower as NAV. Price is undervalued as the NAV of R6,12 is higher. (see 4.5) R6,12 (NAV) is the value shown in the Balance sheet/Equity, which is more

than the market value.

(2)

Price at which new shares were issued on 1 January 2015:

No/Existing shareholders should not be satisfied (1)

New shareholders paid a good price at R4,30, which is lower than NAV (R6,12)

R4,30 is also lower than the market price of R5,20 which new shareholders would have paid on the open market.

(2)

9

Price paid for the repurchase of shares on 31 May 2015:

No/Existing shareholders should not be satisfied (1)

R6,40 is higher than market price (R5,20), so the unhappy shareholder is compensated from profits retained in the past.

R6,40 is higher than the NAV (R6,12) so retained income is reduced which will disadvantage existing shareholders in future.

5.4 The directors are not satisfied with the liquidity position. Comment on the liquidity position. Quote and explain THREE relevant financial indicators (with figures) to support their view.

Ratio + Trend and figures

Any THREE:

Current ratio decreased from 2,1 : 1 in 2015 to 1,6 : 1(see 5.3.1) in 2016 Debtors’ collection period increased from 28 days to 40 days, which indicates

a slacking in control of debtors/they are allowed to repay debt after 30 days. (Do not accept creditors payment period, which declined but 80 days were too long in 2015 and 68 days is still longer than average)

Stock turnover rate declined from 5 times in 2015 to 3 times in 2016, which means that it takes longer to turn stock into cash and it may result in cash flow problems.

% net profit after tax on sales decreased from 35% to 30% in 2016. Less profit and/or less sales could impact negatively on liquidity.

Also accept, IF put in negative context: Acid test ratio slightly decreased from 0,8 : 1 in 2015 to 0,77 : 1 in 2016

so too much stock on hand( OR Acid test remained similar at 0,8 : 1 (rounded off) in both years)

6

5.5 The directors decided to pay back a large portion of the long term loans. Explain why this was not a wise business decision. Quote and explain TWO financial indicators (with figures) in your answer.

Quoting indicators + figures

Debt-equity decreased from 0,4 : 1 in 2015 to 0,2 : 1 (see 5.3.2) in 2016 ROTCE declined from 14,1% to 13%.

Explanation: + Risk is low, so they can make use of loans/did not have to pay back large

portion of the loan (0,4:1 before the payback was low risk as well) ROTCE was higher (14,1%) than interest rates (13%) on loans in 2015

[positively geared], but has now dropped to lower (13%) than interest rates (15%) in 2016 [negatively geared].

Financing are not optimally utilised in the business as return (ROTCE) does not out-perform interest rates.

Guitars are high value items, so small quantities are purchased/held in stock. Each item can be monitored individually. The value/cost of guitars is continuously changing. CDs are low value items, so large quantities are purchased/held in stock Cost per CD does not vary a lot on short term.
