QUESTION 1
1.1 ANNEXURE A shows a summary of the Income and Expenditure statement with notes of the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) for the financial year ended 31 March 2016. Some of the amounts have been omitted.
Use ANNEXURE A and the information above to answer the questions that follow.
1.1.1 Communication costs decreased by 4,402% from 2015 to 2016.
Calculate (to the nearest thousand rand) the communication costs for 2016. (4)
1.1.2 The SANBS imports 75% of its product testing material and consumables. Explain what possible impact a weakening of the rand will have on their
total profit for the year. (2)
1.1.3 Compare, showing ALL calculations, the 2015 and 2016 percentage profit for the SANBS.
You may use the following formula:
Percentage profit =      Annual Total Profit       x 100%  (5)
                              Total Annual Primary Income                                         
1.2 ANNEXURE B shows the individual tax rates for the 2016/2017 tax year.
One of the SANBS directors, who is    68 years old, earned a taxable income of R663 000 during the 2016/2017 tax year.
Calculate the total income tax this director has to pay on his annual taxable income (ignore medical aid credits).(6)
1.3 During 2016, a total of 110000 South Africans in the age group 16 to19 years donated blood. The SANBS decided to appeal to eligible high-school learners to donate blood. Their target is to increase the number of donors in this age group by an annual growth rate of 9,6%, compounded over the next two years.
Calculate, showing ALL calculations, the targeted number of blood donors in this age group for 2018. (4)
1.4 The bar graph below shows the racial  composition of blood donors from 2014 to 2016 in terms of actual numbers and percentages.
1.4
Use the bar graph above to answer the questions that follow.
1.4.1 Give a possible explanation for including an 'Unknown' category as a racial group.
1.4.2 Describe a possible trend relating to the percentage black donors.
1.4.3 Explain why it cannot be said with certainty that the number of Asian donors remained the same from 2014 to 2016.
1.4.4 The total number of donors in 2016 was 490 914. This total donor base grew marginally from the previous year by 1,02%.

  1. Calculate the number of donors in 2015. (2)
  2. Hence, determine (rounded off to the nearest 10) the number of white donors in 2015.(4)

1.5 Human blood is classified into eight main blood groups. The SANBS is regularly appealing to eligible people to donate blood. TABLE 2 below shows the distribution of the eight different blood groups in the South African population.
TABLE 3 below shows the compatibility between the blood group of the donor and the possible recipient.

LEARNER'S SOLUTION 

Range = 425,52 — 21,44
= 404,08 Russian rouble

404,08 Russian rouble   = 404,08 ± 0,016
= 25 255 euro

25 255 euro = 25 255 x 0,07
= R1 767,85

Verify,  showing  ALL  calculations,  whether  the  learner's  solution is correct. (6)
