You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of
communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment.
This tutorial letter contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and
assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working
through the study material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing
questions to your lecturers.
Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with this tutorial letter as it gives you an idea of
generally important information when studying distance education and information within a particular
College.
In this tutorial letter, you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as instructions on
the preparation and submission of the assignments. It also provides all the information you need with
regard to the prescribed study material and other resources and how to obtain them. Please study this
information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible.
Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive
during the semester immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes,
urgent information. You will also find useful information of a general nature in Tutorial Letter 301 and

We trust that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!

E- Tutor

Unisa offers online tutorials (e-tutoring) to students registered for modules at NQF level 5, 6 and 7 for
qualifying first year and second year modules. Please communicate with your module leader to find
out if any of the modules that you have registered for, falls in this category.
Once you have been registered for a qualifying module, you will be allocated to a group of students
with whom you will be interacting during the tuition period as well as an e-tutor who will be your tutorial
facilitator. Thereafter you will receive an sms informing you about your group, the name of your e-tutor
and instructions on how to log onto MyUnisa in order to receive further information on the e-tutoring
process.
Online tutorials are conducted by qualified E-Tutors who are appointed by Unisa and are offered free
of charge. All you need to be able to participate in e-tutoring, is a computer with internet connection. If
you live close to a Unisa regional Centre or a Telecentre contracted with Unisa, please feel free to visit
any of these to access the internet. E-tutoring takes place on MyUnisa where you are expected to
connect with other students in your allocated group. It is the role of the e-tutor to guide you through
your study material during this interaction process. For you to get the most out of online tutoring, you
need to participate in the online discussions that the e-tutor will be facilitating.
There are modules which students have been found to repeatedly fail. For these modules face-to-face
tutors are allocated and tutorials for these modules take place at the Unisa regional centres (refer
6.2.1). These tutorials are offered free of charge, however, it is important for you to register at your
nearest learning centre to secure attendance of these classes.
E-tutor is an online tutorial service introduced by UNISA to support students with their studies. As a
registered student for FAC1601, you will be allocated to an E-Tutor who will assist you with the module
if you so wish. You will need to logon to myUNISA to see your allocated E-Tutor
7.

ASSESSMENT

7.1

Assignments and learning

Compulsory assignments for all modules should be submitted by students at set due dates.
Assignments are seen as part of the learning process for this module. As you do the assignment,
study the reading text, consult other resources, discuss the work with fellow students or tutors or do
research, you are actively engaged in learning. The assessment criteria included in your study guide
at the end of each study unit will help you to understand what is required of you when doing your
assignment.
7.2

Submission of assignments

Enquiries about assignments (e.g. whether or not the university has received your assignment or the
date on which an assignment was returned to you) must be directed to the assignments department.
This department can be reached by sending an SMS to 43584 or by e-mail at assign@unisa.ac.za.

7.5

Feedback on assignments

You will automatically receive the correct answers for multiple-choice questions. Feedback on
compulsory assignments will be sent to all students registered for this module in a follow-up
tutorial letter, and not only to those students who submitted the assignments. The tutorial letter
numbers will be 201, 202, etc.
As soon as you have received the feedback, please work through it. The assignments and the
feedback on these assignments constitute an important part of your learning and should help you to
be better prepared for the next assignment and the examination.
7.6

Study process

You may encounter fewer problems when you work as follows:


Point 9 of this tutorial letter sets out the suggested study programme for semester 1 and 2. First
semester students: refer to paragraph 9.1 and second semester students: refer to paragraph 9.2.

Study the relevant study units of the Study Guide for assignment 01. Do all the exercises in the
Study Guide and make sure that you understand the contents of the study material.

Do assignment 01 and send it to UNISA for marking. Remember, the submission of


assignment 01 is compulsory for examination admission and contributes to your year
mark (refer to points 7.7 and 8.2).

Study the relevant study units of the Study Guide for assignment 02 and do the assignment.
Remember, the submission of assignment 02 is compulsory and contributes to your year
mark (refer to points 7.7 and 8.2).

After completing an assignment, carry on with the study programme. Do not wait for the
suggested solution or for the return of the marked assignment.

Students often fail to plan their studies properly in order to achieve specific study goals at
predetermined dates. This leads to a haphazard approach to studying and the use of ineffective study
techniques.
The study programme for each semester is included in this tutorial letter under point 9 to assist you in
this regard. The programme indicates the dates during which certain sections of the study material
should be studied, as well as the dates by which the compulsory assignments should be completed.
The study programme is based on the following assumptions:

That study will commence on either 11 January 2016 for the first semester or 27 June 2016 for
the second semester and that the full course should be completed leaving sufficient time for
revision.

That you should study at least 6 hours per week. We are of the opinion that this is within your
reach.

We are convinced that, if you adhere to the suggested programme, you should be able to master the
subject. It is very important that the subject matter covered in each study unit be mastered and not
just be skimmed. If you happen to register late or fall behind with this programme, extra effort on your
part will be necessary.
Addendums A and B contain the compulsory assignment 01 and 02 for students who are registered
for FAC1601 in the first semester.
Addendums C and D contain the compulsory assignment 01 and 02 for students who are registered
for FAC1601 in the second semester.
13

Please note that these assignments are not the same. You must ensure that you submit the
assignments which pertain to the semester that you are registered in for FAC1601.
IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR FAC1601 IN THE SECOND SEMESTER YOU CANNOT SUBMIT
ANY ASSIGNMENTS DURING THE FIRST SEMESTER. ASSIGNMENTS INCORRECTLY
SUBMITTED, WILL BE RETURNED UNMARKED
7.7

Important aspects regarding assignments

There are 4 assignments for this module:

Assignment 01 is a multiple choice assignment that is compulsory and contributes 50%


towards your year mark. It is important to note that if you do not submit this assignment
you will not be admitted to the examination;

Assignment 02 is a multiple choice assignment that is also compulsory and contributes 50%
towards your year mark;

Assignments 03 and 04 are long question assignments. These assignments must NOT be
submitted to UNISA for marking but forms an important part of your study material and exam
questions will definitely be set on these sections.

Please keep copies of assignments submitted to UNISA through myUnisa or manually as this is proof
that you submitted the assignment.
Assignments constitute an integral part of the tutorial material. Study material on which assignment 01
is based is given in Addendum A (for students registered for the first semester) or Addendum C (for
students registered for the second semester). Assignments and tutorial letters must also be studied for
examination purposes.
7.8

Plagiarism

Although students may work together when preparing assignments, each student must submit his or
her own individual assignment. It is unacceptable for students to discuss the answers on myUnisa.
That is considered as copying (a form of plagiarism) and you may be penalised or subjected to
disciplinary proceedings by the university.
8.

EXAMINATIONS

For general information and requirements as far as assignments are concerned, refer to the brochure
mySTUDIES@Unisa, which you have received with your study material.
8.1

Examination admission

For students to fully benefit from our formative tuition and assessment, the Management of the
university has taken a decision to introduce two compulsory assignments in all modules to be
submitted by set due dates. Submission of the first compulsory assignment by its due date will give a
student admission to the examination in the particular module and the mark obtained for that
assignment will contribute towards the final mark for that module. The second assignment is also

Please ensure that the compulsory assignments reaches the University before the due date as late
submission of assignment 01 will result in you not being admitted to the examination.

Year-mark and final examination mark

The year-mark contribution towards the final examination mark is calculated as follows:
50% of the mark obtained for assignment 01
Plus
50% of the mark obtained for assignment 02
If you only submit assignment 01, your year mark will be 50% of the mark obtained for this
assignment. This will then be your year mark out of a possible 100%. If, for example, you obtain 80%
for assignment 01 and 0% for assignment 02, your year mark will be 40%.
According to university policy you require a sub-minimum of 40% in the examination before your year
mark will be taken into consideration. In other words, if you do not obtain at least 40% in the
examination, you will automatically fail and your final mark will be the mark you obtained in the
examination.
A final mark of 50% is required to pass this module. This final mark is calculated as follows:
(20% x year mark) + (80% x mark obtained in the examination)

If you obtain between 40% and 49% as a final mark, you will be allowed to write a supplementary
examination. The supplementary examination will be written at the end of the next semester. This
means that if you qualify for a supplementary examination in May/June, you will write the FAC1601
supplementary paper in October/November. Similarly, students who qualify for a supplementary
examination in October/November will write this paper in May/June of the following year. A student
may, however, write only one supplementary examination per enrolment.
If, for any reason, you transfer your exam period for FAC1601 to a following semester, you need to
submit Assignment 01 and 02 before the due date in the semester for which you originally registered
for the course. The year mark you obtain will then be carried forward to the next semester because
you will not be allowed to submit any assignments in the semester to which you have changed. By
applying to have your semester changed to a following semester, you in effect, are applying for an
aegrotat examination. However, you still need a year mark that will be taken into account as explained
above hence the need to submit the compulsory assignments in the semester for which you
originally registered.

8.3

Examination period

This module is offered in a semester period of 15 weeks. This means that if you are registered for the
first semester, you will write the examination in May/June 2016 and the supplementary examination
will be written in October/November 2016. If you are registered for the second semester, you will write
the examination in October/November 2016 and the supplementary examination will be written in
May/June 2017.
During the semester, the Examination Section will provide you with information regarding the
examination in general, examination venues, examination dates and examination times. This
information can also be obtained from the myUnisa site. Click on Examinations when you are logged
into the site.
8.4

Examination paper

At the end of the semester you will be required to write a two hour examination paper. Theoretical and
multiple choice questions will also be asked. Exam questions are set on the contents of the whole
course not only on assignments 1 and 2.
You are advised to consult the examination time-table timeously in order to plan your revision
programme accordingly. Please start early to avoid cramming at the last moment.
8.5

Previous examination papers

There will be no previous years examination papers or memorandums to be made available to


students as part of tutorial or study material. However, additional questions will be provided in a form
of a tutorial letter. These questions will be of same standard as the examination questions. We advise
you, however, not to focus only on these questions as your only source in your preparation for the
examination as the content of examination papers change from year to year. You may, however,
accept that the type of questions that will be asked in the examination will be similar to those asked in
the activities in your study guide and in the assignments.
8.6

Tutorial letter with information on the examination

To help you in your preparation for the examination, you will receive a tutorial letter that will explain the
format of the examination paper and set out what and how to study for examination purposes.

Fortune, Ever and Young are in a partnership, trading as Cloud Creations. They share in the
profits/losses of the partnership in the ratio of 4:2:1 respectively. On 31 July 2015 they decided to
dissolve the partnership piecemeal. It is anticipated that the liquidation expenses will amount to
R3 500. The partners are all solvent and each one of them will be able to settle any final deficit on his
capital account.
All of the assets will be sold for cash. The anticipated liquidation expenses must be provided for in full
and the cash must be retained in the bank account until the date that it is payable. The trade creditor
is to be paid with a once-off payment after the liquidation expenses have been provided for. As further
cash becomes available, interim repayments to the partners must be made in such a manner that no
partner will have to repay an interim repayment that was received.

2.

The available cash for a first interim repayment must be apportioned to Ecks, Whye and Zed
according to their profit-sharing ratio.

3.

According to the loss-absorption-capacity method, an amount of R10 000 must be repaid solely to
Zed as the first interim repayment made by the partnership.

4.

When applying the loss-absorption-capacity method to calculate the apportionment of available


cash to the partners, as an interim repayment, all the remaining assets (that need to be liquidated)
are assumed to be worthless. The recorded balances of these asset accounts are apportioned to
the partners capital accounts. According to the given information, R127 200 must be apportioned
to Ecks, Whye and Zed equally when the first interim repayment to the partners is calculated
according to the loss-absorption-capacity method.
