a. QUESTION 3.1.1
| 3.1 | 3.1.1 | Annual income =368 450 Tax bracket from table=284 101 - 393 200 ✓ RT
Tax = 59 314 +31% of the amount above
= 284 100 = 59 314 +0,31(368 450-284 100) = 59 314 +0,31 x 84 350✓ S
✓ M ✓M = 59 314 +26 148,50 - [(270 * 2) + 181 x 12] = 85 462,50 - 8652 = R 76 810,50

B. QUESTION 3.1.2:
- All learners could not answer this question.
- Recommendation:
- Deduct the 3 marks from the total (150) and calculate the final mark out of 147. Convert the 147 back to 150 and proceed as normal.
- If a candidate scored 75 out of 150, the final mark will be calculated as follows:
75/147 x 150/1 = 77,5 (rounded off to 78)
C. QUESTION 5.1.2
| 5.1 | 5.1.2 | Front doors = 2 700 ÷ 397
= 6 doors M = 1 830 ÷ 716
= 2 doors ✓CA No. of doors = 6 x 2
= 12 doors in 1 board ✓CA Doors needed = 20 2 boards needed ✓ A
Sides = 2700 ÷ 540
= 5 ✓M 1 830 ÷ 720 = 2 No. of sides = 5 x 2 = 10 Boards needed 2 ✓CA
Back = 2 200 ÷ 720 = 3 1 200 ÷ 800 = 1
3 in 1 board ✓M
∴ For 10 backs = 4 boards ✓CA
Bottom = 2 700 ÷ 540
= 5 1830 ÷ 716 = 2 5 x 2 = 10 No. of boards = 2 ✓CA
