Welcome to the University of Namibia. We are confident that your studies and hard work will be
rewarded with success. We kindly advise that you obtain all the relevant information and booklets
available for distance students from your Moodle platform (including the 2023 Student Information
Letter, Online Assignment Submission Guide and other documents). These documents will
provide guidance on how to approach your studies and will guide you through your study materials as
well as providing useful administrative information in submitting assignments.
2. Study materials
Your study guide is essentially your “teacher/lecturer”. However, in addition, you are required to visit
the library to consult prescribed books and recommended readings that are indicated in the study guide
as well as browse the Internet in general. You are also responsible to purchase any prescribed
textbooks required for your respective courses/modules. Furthermore, you are strongly advised to
follow the guidelines in the Online Assignment Submission Guide available on Moodle.
3. Collaborative Learning
Unam avails all your modules through Moodle, enabling you to interact with your fellow students online
through forum discussions and chats. You can use the same platform to engage with your lecturers and
tutors regarding academic support. Please take advantage of Moodle to avoid isolation and strengthen
your interaction with colleagues, ask for help, and share/receive resources to aid your learning process.
See below how to access forum discussions on Moodle:
4. Submission of assignments
It is very important to complete and submit a clean, clear and well-argued assignment for marking. Make
sure that you have understood the questions in order to answer them correctly. It is your responsibility
to make sure that every page of the completed assignment is correctly numbered before submitting
your assignment.
As from 2017, ALL assignments are submitted through the Moodle Learning Management
System. This is an online platform where you will access all your modules and related information such
as course outlines, course notes and other learning materials that your lecturer/tutor may choose to
share with you. Moodle is accessible here: http://elearning.unam.edu.na. You should complete and
submit all assignments on or before the given due date in the assignment letter if you wish to obtain
your CA marks and qualify for examinations. UNAM always updates its assignment covers on an annual
and semester basis. Please ensure that you have used the latest assignment cover. The latest
assignment cover is availed on each course on Moodle.
A user guide is available on how to submit your assignment in each module on the Distance Education
Common Space and you can access it on the Online Support system. Pay close attention to the
following key points listed at the beginning of the guide on:
5
FACULTY OF COMMERCE, MANAGEMENT AND LAW
3.2 Errors to avoid when submitting your assignment (committing these errors may
result in you failing to submit your assignments and therefore potentially failing your
course)
3.3 How to check the assessment feedback when your assignment has been graded.
5. Due Dates
All assignment due dates for 2025 are published on second page of this assignment letter. With the
shift from manual to online assignment submission since 2017, due dates are automated and non-
negotiable. This means that you would be required to submit your assignments ON or BEFORE the
due date set on your assignment (before 11h55 PM). After the date has passed (i.e. 12h00AM of the
next day) the assignment submission will be disabled, and you would no longer be able to submit
your assignment. Please note that assignment submissions will be open long before the due dates.
Please note that your assignment due dates are on page 2 of this Tutorial Letter. Use this assignment
due dates to set up your calendar tool on your mobile phone or computer to set reminders for yourself
and manage your time. Another way to keep pace with due dates, is by regularly visiting your Timeline
of each of your courses on Moodle on the Course Overview. Also download the Moodle mobile app to
access Moodle on your mobile phone or tablet and have access to notifications about due dates at your
fingertips from Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for IOS.
6
FACULTY OF COMMERCE, MANAGEMENT AND LAW
7. Medical and death are the only reasons accepted for the late submission of assignments.
Late submission of assignments will only be approved 7 days (including public holidays and
weekends) after the due date of an assignment. Valid documentary proof must be attached as part of
the assignment before any late submission will be considered. Late submission without valid
documentary proof attached to the assignment will be returned unmarked and may not be resubmitted
for marking. Travelling and attendance of workshops, job related activities and conferences may
not be used as an excuse for the late submission of assignments. All late submission request must be
forwarded to the Student support coordinator for approval.
8. Academic Support
One every Moodle course there is an embedded Academic Support section with materials to assist you
with your writing process (see Figure 3 below). Go through the videos in order to enhance your writing
process and submit better quality assignments.
9. Grace Period
A grace period refers to three (3) additional days added after your assignment due
date. The purpose of this grace period is to provide each student with time to verify
and or to make amendments to assignments already submitted. These changes may
include correcting errors like submitting a file to a wrong module or on a wrong
assignment; submitting a wrong file; losing internet connectivity, etc. An example
would be that a student attempting to submit an assignment and they lose internet
connection would still be able to try again the day after at a different place or when the
connection has been restored.
7
FACULTY OF COMMERCE, MANAGEMENT AND LAW
Any assignment found with high similarity scores or with evidence of clear attempts to
cheat such as submitting an assignment that is not your own would result in a zero (0)
grade.
Also visit the Distance Education Common Space on Moodle where you can find all
necessary information and user manuals related to your distance mode studies and
also engage with other students studying on distance mode. See additional
information under Section 11 below.
You can also make use of the Online Support (Ticketing System) for queries to be responded to by
the responsible person within 48 hours. We recommend you use this system for Help Topics or issues
listed on the system rather than email or telephone calls.
14. Online information, Tutorials and Distance Education Common Space
Information and Tutorials are provided in each course on the Moodle Learning
Management System which you should first familiarise yourself once you first access
your courses.
8
FACULTY OF COMMERCE, MANAGEMENT AND LAW
Indicated in Figure 4 above, the Distance Student Orientation provides video tutorials on various
activities you would perform such as submitting your assignments, converting your documents into pdf
format, changing your email address, how to check your results when assignments have been graded
and so on.
Updates and information with regard to your studies and related events would be shared in the Distance
Education Common Space which you can access from any course as shown in screenshot below. All
students studying on distance mode are linked this the space where you can collaborate or discuss
general issues.
You will also find the Student Information Letter, your Vacation School Timetable and User Guides in
the Distance Education Common Space.

The Question consists of different parts which are not related in any way.
PART A
Molt Limited (“Molt”) is in the computer application software development business. They are
constantly on the outlook for new developments that can be sold to smartphone users.
Salif Mpho has spent the past three years in developing a bank application (“Bapp”) that will
dramatically change the way internet banking is done. He decided to present his prototype of
“Bapp” as “for sale” to Molt’s Managing Director, Sir Ibra, who immediately realised that this
app will sell in millions, once completely developed.
Salif incurred expenses of N$745 340 in developing “Bapp” up to 31 March 2022. Research
constituted N$145 340 of this amount, and the balance was development cost. Bob offered
Salif an appointment in the post as Chief “Bapp” developer at a monthly salary of N$50 000
starting 1 April 2022. He also agreed to purchase the “Bapp” for N$900 000 from Salif. Salif
spent one month training staff of Molt on how to further develop “Bapp” and development
started on 1 May 2022.
A summary of the payments made to purchase and develop “Bapp” is as follows for the year
ended 31 March 2023:
Additional information:
1. Molt uses the revaluation model to account for intellectual properties such as
applications, and the cost model for websites. Revaluations are done annually at the
end of the financial year. As there is an active market in the buying and selling of
applications for smartphones, the fair value of the “Bapp” at 31 March 2023 was
determined as N$2 000 000.
2. The “Bapp” was completed 31 August 2022 and sales started on 1 September 2022.
3. Salif and the development staff were actively involved in the support and maintenance
of “Bapp” for the period 1 September 2022 to 31 March 2023.
4. The estimated life of the “Bapp” application as well as the website is three years each.

MBW is a motor vehicle dealer that sells luxurious cars to the public. One of the cars was
sold for N$300 000. The car was ordered by the buyer on 1 May 2017 and was picked up
from the dealer on 1 July 2017. MBW’s year-end is 31 December. The selling price includes
an amount of N$20 000 in respect of a 3-year service plan. Because it is probable that the
maintenance costs will increase as the car becomes older, MBW estimates the following
schedule of service costs that they will incur over this 3-year period:
PART C
Wine Ltd is a company that sells expensive wines to the exclusive buyer. Points are earned
when the customer spends a certain amount. The points can be redeemed for more wine. For
the year ended 31 December 2018, 500 points were granted and Wine Ltd expected at that
stage that only 420 points in total would be redeemed for more wine. The fair value of each
point is N$40 (this value already takes into account the number of future expected
redemptions). Total sales of wine for the year ended 31 December 2018 amounted to N$600
000 (on credit). During the year ended 31 December 2018, 240 points were redeemed for
more wine. During the year ended 31 December 2019, a further 100 points were redeemed
and management re-estimated that the total number of points that would be redeemed will

1. The vehicles and Stockroom are recognised on the cost model. Buildings classified as
property, plant and equipment are accounted for in accordance with the revaluation
model, using the gross replacement method. Where applicable, assets are depreciated
over their respective estimated useful lives to their residual values. Any revaluation
surplus is released to retained earnings as the relevant asset is utilised over its useful
life.
2. During the current financial year, the remaining useful life of the Stockroom, used for
cold storage purposes, was re-estimated to be four years from the start of the current
financial year. It was also determined that the estimated residual value decreased to
N$450 000. Changes in estimates are accounted for using the re-allocation method. The
fair value of this property was N$2 500 000 on 28 February 2022.
3. The operations of the company are run from the building acquired on 1 March 2020. On
1 March 2021 Mr Abraham, an expert appraiser, valued the property at a fair value (net
replacement value) of N$2 223 600, with reference to similar properties in the same area
and which are in a similar condition. The fair value of this building at 28 February 2022
was determined as N$1 484 000. The residual value remained unchanged since the
date of acquisition.
4. The Stockroom and building are situated on plot 38, Brakewater in Windhoek. The fair
value of the land was N$700 000 on 28 February 2022.
5. Fortunate Limited invested in industrial refrigerator at a cost of N$1 800 000 on 30 May
2021. Large inspections must be performed every three years on this refrigerator. The
3-year inspection was due on 1 June 2021, and was performed at a cost of N$400 000.
The previous inspection was performed at a cost of N$360 000. The refrigerator is
recognised on the cost model and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of 5 years
to a nil residual value.
