TASK 1.1
Research activity: The Mint
1. Old Johannesburg Road, Gateway, Centurion, South Africa
2. 6 different coins: 10c, 20c, 50c, R1, R2, R5 NOTES:
◦ The 1c and 2c coins were discontinued on 31 March 2002, so if you have any, keep them as they are now collectors items!
◦ The 5c coin was discontinued in 2013, but is still in circulation and can be used as legal tender.
◦ This also means that prices must be rounded up or down to the nearest 5c.
3. E.g. R5 coin- South Africa’s first bi-metal coin (has a “yellow” centre with an outer “white” ring) the Black Wildebeest or Gnu is portrayed on the reverse of the coin, the words “South Africa” appear on the obverse of the coin in one of South Africa’s 11 official languages (which rotate annually), it weighs 9g and has a diameter of 26mm
4.
5. A coin has six distinct features by which a blind person can identify it: size, thickness, shape (not all are entirely round) pattern of grooves round the edge, the sound it makes when dropped onto a table and the raised picture on the face.

Different geometric shapes: These have been added to the front of the banknotes as an aid for the partially sighted: diamond on the R10, square on the R20, circle on the R50, and different hexagons on the R100 and R200. (Intaglio/raised printing could also be an answer)

TASK 16
Resources
Resources are important because they are used to make goods, like television, cars & houses and to provide services, like banking, insurance and transport.
All of these resources are scarce. Any resources that are not scarce are called free goods.
Wants are unlimited but the resources used to produce the goods and services to satisfy these wants are limited. That is, there is scarcity. Choice is necessary because scarce resources can be used in lots of ways to make different goods and services. The real cost of choosing one thing and not another is known as the opportunity cost.

TASK 1.13
Technology
1. Answers could include: Emails, Facebook/Social networking, research, games, downloading music
2. Ensure that they estimate time per day. BUT - discuss how they arrived at this conclusion, (it is very likely to be underestimated!) and if it is accurate. Encourage them to keep a diary to monitor screen time for a week and then discuss again. A webinar is a seminar over the internet. A presenter or lecturer controls it and it can happen in one of two ways:
Participants log into a common site at the same time and can interact by typing questions into a sidebar which is screened by someone and forwarded to the presenter. Some live webinars enable discussion groups.
The presentation could be recorded and participants watch at their convenience. There is often then a helpline where they can ask questions or raise issues individually.
3. Social networking sites could be used for advertising and gathering market research, smart-phones can be used to store and transport documents and presentations, smart-phones can allow video calls to replace actual meetings, smart-phones can be used to plan and organise schedules and meetings, any other relevant.

Entrepreneurial Opportunities and Ideas
Assess each group individually and challenge their ideas. Let them use techniques such as brainstorming or mindmapping to come up with more ideas.
For part 2, let them list the reasons for their choice.
TASK 3.4
SWOT Analysis: Personal Organisational ability
Assess each SWOT analysis ensuring that internal factors are listed for Strengths and Weaknesses, and external (non-controllable) factors for Opportunties and Threats.
TASK 3.2
Xoli’s Game Drives
Note that this is a simple task working only with direct costs, the overhead cost of advertising is not part of the calculation as she used her savings as the investment in the business.
1. (100+75)= R175 expense
2. (50x8)=R400 income
3. (400-175)=R225 profit 4 people to cover the actual cost of one game drive (4x50=R200)
4. If students are using other countries as examples (Note that question says ‘Southern’) they may need to covert the currency.
5. Xoli can use these prices as an indication, but she has to take into consideration what they offer: things like more experienced game rangers, type of game (do they also have the big 5?), type of vehicle, and whether snacks may be included.
She also has a niche market - guests at that game lodge, so if the game drives are in demand, she can charge R50. However, she may find that guests are willing to pay more (i.e. she is undercharging) and she could add extra’s such as snacks and drinks, or even night rides and make even more profit. Any relevant aspects.

TASK 3.7
Individual Preferences
1. Ensure that the chosen media is suitable for the product or service, bearing in mind the cost of the product/service. For example, launching a TV commercial for an HB pencil would not be realistic or financially feasable. Encourage learners to use social media and modern marketing methods where possible.
2. Look at reasoning and ensure that students justify their choices. They may have different preferences and ideas for different products and services.
TASK 3.5
Personal Goals
Ensure the goals adhere to the requirements (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time related), and that they relate to high school.

TASK 3.11
Informal Businesses
Break into groups and see if you can define the following informal businesses. Make sure you isolate the factors that differentiate them from other, similar businesses. The first one has been done as an example:
Spaza shop Small, informal shops; mostly run from home; need-oriented (i.e. supplies essentials such as groceries); often sells products in small units (e.g. single biscuits or a cup of sugar wrapped in paper).
Shebeen Small, drinking house, most often located in black townships as an alternative to pubs and bars (developed in the Apartheid Era when segregation prevented communities from mixing and using common amenities). Shebeens provide commercial beers, homebrewed and home-distilled alcohol, music and dancing. In recent times they have become popular tourist attractions and many upmarket shebeens have been opened.
Vendor A person or company offering something for sale usually in the street. They often have a cart, caravan or awning and are normally found in the same place.
Hawker A hawker walks around selling their wares, such as the sellers on the beach, or someone that goes from house to house or to different businesses, e.g. selling lunch sandwiches.
Flea market A collection of stalls often outside or housed in one large building (like a warehouse). Products are often hand made, or fresh produce and they are more common around Christmas time when there are a lot of special markets set up.
Other: Any relevant examples.

TASK 3.13
Natural DisastersImpact of a Natural Disaster
Business: loss of premises, furniture and fittings, stock, vehicles and employees. The petrol station will need to be completely cleared and cleaned and rebuilt. It will have to close down for a while and lose income during that period of time. New employees may have to be found and trained.
Families: loss of homes, cars, furniture or other assets, children/husbands/wives/relatives, breadwinners, income.
Specific Community - identify floods, earthquakes, fires etc if appropriate in your local community, or look at the broader province.
Positives - A community coming together to help, insurance payouts enable families and businesses to get back on their feet. People often support businesses more after a disaster in order to help them make more profit.
TASK 3.12
Satisfying customers’ needs
NOTE: The question requires students to identify specific businesses that they support, not just a general discussion, which was covered previously.
Students could discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both informal and formal businesses, and look at various products and services provided by each that satisfy various customer needs.
