The following points highlight only a few important notes. 1) You are required to submit ONE assignment per module. 2) The assignment will contribute 20% towards the final examination mark, and the other 80% will be contributed by the examination, however, the examination papers will count out of 100%. 3) Although your assignment will contribute towards your final examination mark, you do not have to earn credits for admission to the examinations; you are automatically accepted on registering for the exam. 4) Number all the pages of your assignment (e.g. page 1 of 4) and write your name and surname, student number and subject at the top of each page. 5) The IMM GSM requires assignments to be presented on plain A4 paper. You must show all working calculations, including and where appropriate multiple-choice working calculations. 6) A separate assignment cover, which is provided by the IMM GSM, must be attached to the front of each assignment. 7) Retain a copy of each assignment before submitting, in case the original does not reach the IMM GSM. 8) The assignment due date refers to the day up to which assignments will be accepted for marking purposes. The deadline is 3:00 p.m. on 18 March 2014. Late assignments will be accepted, but 25 marks will be deducted from the maximum mark, if received after 3:00 p.m. on 18 March 2014 and up to 5:00 p.m. the following day, after which no assignments will be accepted. 9) If you fail to follow these instructions carefully, the IMM Graduate School of Marketing cannot accept responsibility for the return of the assignment.

Xolani transferred a vehicle, with a book value of R90 000, into the name of the business as the second part of his capital contribution (on 1st February). Two days later he took out a loan with Beep Bank to the value of R5 000. The funds/ proceeds from the loan were received the same day. On 5th February he bought tools to the value of R10 000 and a stepladder for R2 000. These items, to be used as his electrical equipment, were paid for in cash. On 7th February he repaired an air-conditioning system for a customer and received R8 000 cash in exchange for his services. Gamma Ltd requested Xolani to install a security lighting system to the value of R22 000 for which they paid him R12 000 upfront on the 10th February, being the day he started and completed the installation. It was agreed that Gamma limited would settle the balance of its account at the end of March. Xolani hired a hydraulic lift on the 11th February to assist him with a job. He paid the hiring fee of R2 000 in cash. Xolani needed to buy stock of wires, connectors and switches which cost him R6 000 from Electro Ltd on 11th February. He bought these on credit. On 25th he paid his workshop rent of R3 000 and R1 000 for his mobile phone contract. On 27th February Xolani paid the first installment of R500 on his loan. (Ignore interest.) He paid his assistant R5 000 as a salary on 27th February. On 27th February Xolani paid Electro Ltd R2 000 towards his outstanding account. Xolani withdrew R7 000 from the business account on the 29th of February for his personal living expenses. Depreciation on the vehicle (per transaction ‘b’) has not yet been accounted for. Xolani estimated that he could use the vehicle (in transaction ‘b’) for three years (with no residual value) in order to calculate the annual depreciation. He decided to adopt the straight-line method and needed to record the depreciation monthly.
