    IntroductionHave you heard about Mindset? Mindset Network, a South African non-profit organisation, was

    founded in 2002. We develop and distribute quality and contextually relevant educationalresources for use in the schooling, health and vocational sectors. We distribute our materialsthrough various technology platforms like TV broadcasts, the Internet (www.mindset.co.za/learn)and on DVDs. The materials are made available in video, print and in computer-based multimediaformats.

    At Mindset we are committed to innovation. In the last two years, we successfully ran a series ofbroadcast events leading up to and in support of the NSC examinations

    Now we are proud to announce our 2011 edition of Matric Exam Revision, which began with ourWinter School in July. Weve expanded the broadcast to support you in seven subjects -

    Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematical Literacy, English 1st

    AdditionalLanguage, Accounting and Geography.

    During our Spring School, you will get exam overviews, study tips on each of the topics we cover,detailed solutions to selected questions from previous examination papers, short question andanswer sessions so you can check you are on track and live phone in programmes so you canwork through more exam questions with an experienced teacher.

    Getting the most from Spring SchoolBefore you watch the broadcast of a topic, read through the questions for the topic and try toanswer them without looking up the solut ions. If you get stuck and cant complete the answer

    dont panic. Make a note of any questions you have. When watching the Topic session, comparethe approach you took to what the teacher does. Dont just copy the answers down but take noteof the method used.

    Make sure you keep this booklet for after Spring School. You can re-do the exam questions youdid not get totally correct and mark your own work by looking up the solutions at the back of thebooklet.

    Remember that exam preparation also requires motivation and discipline, so try to stay positive,even when the work appears to be difficult. Every little bit of studying, revision and exam practicewill pay off. You may benefit from working with a friend or a small study group, as long as

    everyone is as committed as you are. Mindset believes that the 2011 Spring School programmewill help you achieve the results you want.

    If you find Spring School a useful way to revise and prepare for your exams, remember that wewill be running Exam School from 15th October to 22nd November as well. Join us on Saturday15th and 22nd October to go over your Prelim exam questions.

    Yes / No: Yes

    Explanation: TWO points Quote figuresAny TWO valid points e.g.

    The issue price of R5,80 is higher than the value of the share according to the books (NAVof R4,75) this enhances the value of the share in the books.

    The issue price of R5,80 is approximately the same as the market price of R5,75 thedirectors have sold the new shares at a realistic value.

    The shareholders who bought the shares when the company started took a risk at avalue of R3,00 the public is now prepared to pay R5,75 for those shares this isfair to the existing shareholders because the new shareholders are paying a realisticprice without taking the initial risk.

    1.5TWO points Quote figuresAny TWO valid points e.g.

    The debt-equity ratio of 0,2 : 1 is low, which indicates the company is not heavily funded

    Fixed costs / selling price per unit variable cost per unit

    = (864 000 + 540 000 ) / (249 149 )

    = 1 404 000 / 100 = 14 040 units

    SP per unit = 8 964 000 / 36 000 = R249VC per unit = (1 980 000 + 2 592 000 + 792 000) / 36 000 = 5 364000 / 36 000
