UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced/Advanced Subsidiary Level MARK SCHEME for the November 2005 question paper 9706 ACCOUNTING 9706/02 Structured Questions maximum raw mark 90 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. The minimum marks in these components needed for various grades were previously published with these mark schemes, but are now instead included in the Report on the Examination for this session. • CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the November 2005 question papers for most IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Page 1 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper GCE A/AS LEVEL – November 2005 9706 2 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2005 As some candidates may have interpreted “Trading account” to include only stock items, purchases and sales, it was decided that marks for this section would be awarded only for such items, giving a gross profit. However, for inclusion in the Income and Expenditure account, candidates would be expected to calculate a full net profit.
