Previous exam papers were used to compile these notes. SACAI SEP 2019 & 2020. SACAI
NOV 2019 – 2021. These are suggested answers from the memoranda. Some
information is repeated, I want to show you the different ways the same information is
asked.
I encourage you to answer the calculation/illustration questions without even looking at
the answers.
Good luck.Juffrou Ansie
