Answer
To calculate the total amount claimed:
Identify amounts claimed for CM and IM from TABLE 2.
Sum the amounts:
Total amount = CM amount + IM amount
= R58 827.00
Step 2

Answer
Given that:
A=(Numberofmarkers×60)(2808×28)
To find A, substitute the number of markers with the value from TABLE 2 and perform the calculation.
Step 3
2.1.3(a) Using the above formula, determine the expected time and the day on which the markers are likely to finish marking.

Answer
Using the formula for maximum marking hours:
Calculate maximum marking hours:
Maximum hours=Numberofmarkers×602808×28
Determine expected finish time:
Start time is 14:00 on Monday.
Add marking hours to determine the finish day and time.
Note: If the total marking hours exceed 24, this will require calculation across multiple days.
Step 4
2.1.3(b) Determine the actual day and time when markers finished.

Answer
Based on total hours claimed:
Calculate actual finish time starting from 14:00:
If monitoring claims the total marking time is less than expected, calculate the finish day and time accordingly.
Step 5
2.1.3(c) Give ONE possible reason why the markers finished before the expected time.

Answer
One possible reason markers finished early might be: ***Efficiency in marking, possibly due to adequate preparation or simpler scripts, allowing faster completion.
Step 6
2.1.4 Verify whether this amount would be sufficient to pay the team for transport, marking and moderation of the scripts.

Answer
To verify:
Calculate total costs:
Transport = Travel allowance (R3.26 km × 11 542 km)
Marking and moderation charges based on the claims.
Compare total costs with the budget of R400,000.
If total costs < R400,000, then budget is sufficient.
