2.1 The name of the organisation that keeps a record of an individual’s credit
information.
• Credit Bureau ✓ (1)
2.2 The main difference between a cash transaction and a credit transaction.
2.5 2.5.1 Quote a sentence that gives the reason why household
expenditure has shown an increase.
This indicates that households are slowly getting back on their feet after
the financial repercussions of the pandemic. ✓
OR
The increase was driven largely by miscellaneous goods and services
(9.8%), clothing and footwear (22.2%), and furniture (8.9%). ✓ (1)
2.5.2 State the category in household expenditure that showed the most
growth.
Clothing and footwear ✓ (1)
2.5.5 Explain why the expenditure group, restaurants and hotels declined.
Restaurants and hotels were closed during the lockdown therefore
people got into the habit of finding other sources for take away meals/
entertainment. ✓
With the rise of the 2nd wave of Covid-19 restaurants had limited hours
to operate due to the curfew✓and people did not want to attend ‘social
gatherings’ in fear of getting infected with the corona virus. ✓
Some restaurants and hotels had to closed as income declined during
lockdown so maybe in certain areas there was a more limited choice to
go out eat. ✓
When alcohol was not allowed to be served at restaurants, people
entertained at home ✓ (Any 4 logical answers) (4)
2.6 2.6.1 Explain why there is a big difference in the percentage of the
household income spent on food when comparing the two income
groups.
Food is a basic need for survival therefore it will be prioritised in lower
income groups / the higher income groups have sufficient money to also
spend on other needs and wants. ✓
The lower income groups have far less income therefore the percentage
spent on food reflects a greater portion of the pie. ✓ (example if a
households’ income is R4000,00 per month and food costs R1 500,00
per month to buy, it reflects 37,5% on the food budget)
The higher income group are spending far more on food ✓ (e.g.
R10 000,00 and they earn more than R60 000,00 per month) to spend
on other expenditures; food is a small slice of the big pie. ✓ (Any 3 x 1) (3)
2.6.2 Analyse why the percentage of the salary that goes towards
housing in the higher income group is much greater than the lower
income group.
The higher income groups can afford better housing in better areas
therefore these costs more / You need less money to live in a cheaper
area. ✓
Higher income groups have the ability to service greater bonds/access
credit ✓ therefore they have monthly repayments on the home loans to
pay. ✓ When interest rates rise the cost of credit increases. ✓
If they choose to rent, the rental expenses will be higher as compared
to the lower income group who will pay less rent for a smaller place ✓
and a less affluent area ✓
The value of the house is higher therefore the rates and taxes are
high, ✓ this adds to the budget towards housing. They will also pay
more towards household insurance. ✓
Bigger properties require greater maintenance which increases costs. ✓
Housing costs include water and electricity which continue to increase/
A bigger home has more appliances to run - more electricity ✓
The lower income group may not live in electrified areas /have electricity
and resort to other cheaper fuels for energy e.g., paraffin ✓
(Any 6 issues raised) (6)
2.7 2.7.1 Identify the expense in the budget that is put aside to achieve a
long-term goal.
• Savings ✓ (1)

3.5 3.5.1 Identify the pulse with the highest starch content.
• Chickpeas ✓ (1)
3.5.3 Explain the term biological value. Refer to the pulse examples in
the table in your answer.
Biological value refers to the number of essential amino acids the
protein has. ✓ It measures the quality of the protein ✓ and the ability of
the protein to carry out these two building functions - support growth/
building tissue ✓ and maintain/repair body tissue. ✓ A protein with a
high biological value has all essential amino acids and can perform both
functions ✓ thus is a good quality. ✓
A protein with low biological value is lacking one or more of the essential
amino acids and cannot perform the building functions ✓ thus is a
poorer quality. ✓
The soya bean is an example of a high biological value. ✓ The table
shows they also have the highest grams (16.6) of protein. ✓ The sugar
beans, chickpeas and lentils are examples of a low biological value. ✓
The table shows they have less protein than soya. ✓ When eaten with
grains the combination provides a good quality protein/protein
complementation/function as complete. ✓ (Any 6 x 1) (6)
NOTE: The answer must refer to both high biological and low biological
values and refer to the pulses to attain full marks.
3.7 Describe THREE possibilities how cross contamination could take place
when preparing the broccoli and chicken as seen in the picture below.
• If the hands are unwashed and the food is touched ✓
• The knife, if contaminated, and is used for both foods/wash the knife ✓
• If the chicken is contaminated and the knife was used on the chicken and

and how can this be prevented.

/have soup or fruit juices ✓
The body has lost electrolytes/ (salt, glucose, minerals) ✓ and can be
replaced with oral rehydrate/rehydrate salts/game cooldrink ✓
If they cannot keep anything down, then suck ice ✓
Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they have a dehydrating effect ✓ (Any 4 x 1) (4)

Food Fortification programme. A minimum of 3 marks must link to the

QUESTION 4: CLOTHING
4.1.2 Give the optical illusion created in each picture and give a reason for
for each of your answers.
A = taller / slimmer ✓
Diagonal line slant more closely resembles a vertical line, so it
takes on the lengthening effect ✓ (2)
B = shorter / broader ✓
Diagonal line slant/angle is more horizontal so takes on the
widening effect ✓ (2) (4)
4.1.3 State TWO other effects that is created by the use of this type of
line.

4.3 4.3.1 Identify TWO different ways that rhythm has been achieved.

4.5 Write a paragraph on the element texture. Begin with the definition of
texture, then name the two types of texture and differentiate between them.
Texture describes the surface quality of an object ✓ You get two types of
texture namely tactile/real ✓ and visual/implied. ✓ Tactile is what the surface
feels like when you touch it. ✓ Visual is what it looks like ✓ (5)
NOTE: Deduct ONE mark if not written in paragraph format
4.6.2 Evaluate the two coats to select the best one for this body shape.
Coat A - The belt draws attention to the waistline area making the area
larger / draw attention to the waist. ✓
The horizontal line at the hemline of the sleeve creates a wider
look at the hip ✓
Horizontal line below the collar add width and contribute to an
overall boxy look ✓
The flaps at the shoulder broaden the shoulders ✓
Double breasted buttons carry eye across adding more width ✓
(Any 2)
Coat B - No horizontal line/ belt to cut the body in half and attention is
taken away from the midriff give a slimmer look ✓
The horizontal line above the midriff enables the vertical line
on the sides to flow down assisting in an overall look that is
less boxy/ more shape ✓
The eye is drawn to the neck/face area / less lines at the collar
/a V-shape is created- ✓
No horizontal line on the sleeve and the horizontal line above
the middle give a more elongated /taller look ✓
The buttons carry the eye in a vertical line, so the illusion
created is a slimming effect ✓
Less horizontal lines used in the coat create a better flow /eye
goes up and down the sides of the coat ✓ (Any 2)

Chair A (Plastic)
Very durable ✓
Very strong ✓
Lightweight to move chair around ✓
Wheels move easily/rolls smoothly on hard surface ✓
OR
Chair B (Metal)
Very durable ✓
Very strong ✓
Good tensile strength therefore the metal column would be stronger ✓
Better for a heavier person. ✓
Metal would give a better stiffness ✓
Back support frame sturdier ✓ (3)
NOTE: Both A and B are suitable therefore only mark the reasoning.
The reasoning must relate only to the function of the material
for working.
5.1.7 Select TWO criteria that would be considered when buying this
sleeper couch and elaborate on each criterion.
The following two criteria were trimmed from this section, but
must still be marked if the learner has listed them.
Suitability for need: ✓ The need for a backup bed if someone sleeps
over. ✓ Therefore, think about how often it will be used versus the
money spend on it ✓
The need is to serve a dual purpose, so it should also be comfortable
to sit on ✓
Consider the space available in the office room ✓
Human factors/ergonomics + universal design: ✓
The couch must be comfortable for both sitting and sleeping and must
offer enough support ✓
Which persons will most likely use it? Children or adults, both? ✓
