Worked Solution & Example Answer:After an examination, a total of 2 808 Mathematical Literacy scripts were marked at a particular marking centre - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 2 - 2020 - Paper 2
Step 1
2.1.1 Determine the total amount claimed by the chief moderator (CM) and the internal moderator (IM).
Answer
To determine the total amount claimed by the chief moderator (CM) and the internal moderator (IM), we need to refer to TABLE 2 to find the relevant amounts. If CM's amount is denoted as A and IM's amount as B, the total amount would be:
[ \text{Total Amount} = A + B ]
Substituting the values from the table will yield the final answer.
Step 2
2.1.2 Calculate the value of A in TABLE 2.
Answer
Following the expenses detailed in TABLE 2, extract the totals corresponding to the marking hours and tariffs claimed. Assuming the value of A represents the total for a marking category, calculate as follows:
[ A = \text{Total Hours Worked} \times \text{Tariff Rate} ]
After substituting the values, we can determine the value of A.
Step 3
2.1.3 Markers are allowed a maximum number of marking hours based on the following formula: Number of marking hours = Total number of scripts × 28 / Number of markers × 60
Answer
Using the provided formula, compute the number of marking hours allowed. For example, if there are 60 markers:
[ \text{Number of marking hours} = \frac{2808 \times 28}{60 \times 60} ]
This gives the maximum marking hours allowed per marker.
(a) To determine the expected time and day of finishing, assess the total marking hours and add them to the start time (14:00 on Monday).
(b) Based on the actual total marking hours worked, calculate the finish time by adjusting for breaks mentioned in TABLE 3.
(c) Markers may have finished early due to a more efficient marking process, possibly identifying certain scripts more quickly than anticipated.
Step 4
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 if R400,000 is sufficient, sum the cost of transport based on the travel allowance and the expected costs for marking and moderation based on calculated hours and tariffs( \text{Transport Cost} = R3.26 \times 11542 )
Add this cost to the marking and moderation amounts derived earlier. If the total cost exceeds R400,000, the budget is insufficient. If it is below, then the budget is adequate.
