1. You have to design a questionnaire to do a survey at the college. In order to do this you have to do the
following:
i. Establish the goals of the project – What do you want to learn?

ii. Identify your target population. Who are you going to survey? Is it going to
be male and female? Is it going to be a specific group of students such as
hairdressing, security, engineering? Are you going to survey the lecturing and administrative staff of the
college?
iii. Determine your sample – Whom will you interview? The first is deciding
what kind of people to interview? The next thing to decide is how many people you need to interview.
iv. Specification of a sampling frame, a set of items or events that it is possible to measure. What can you
measure? Think of attitudes, opinions, age, gender, field of study, height of a person, likes and dislikes,
academic qualifications, income level, transport costs to college, etc.
v. Specification of sampling method for selecting items or events from the frame. Think of simple random
sampling, systematic random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling. Explain why you
chose your method.
vi. Sampling and data collecting. How are you going to sample your population? Are you going to use
personal or telephonic interviews?
vii. Create your questionnaire – What will you ask. Remember to also include
the scale you will be using. You have to use the following measuring instruments and scales – such as
yes/no.

Goals and Objectives of my Survey

The goal of my survey on the covid-19 vaccine roll out is to help researchers understand the mind set of
the students, admin staff and lectures at my college regarding the covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine is
important as it minimizes the effects of the virus. The members of the public are not forced, or it is not
compulsory for one to take the vaccine however I believe that through eliminating the concerns, fears,
and negativity regarding the vaccine, educating oneself regarding the vaccine is very important to make
an informed decision. As responsible students we can help with this regard, starting with our fellow
classmates, who will in turn set a chain reaction by carrying this information to their family and friends.
It is also equally important to understand the influence social media has regarding the covid-19 vaccine.
My survey will be conducted with 100 students, admin staff and lectures at my college. The covid-19
virus is a threat to all hence I will choose random people and not direct my survey to a specific faculty. I
will try to project my survey with an equal number of male and female participants.
The covid-19 virus is a life-threatening virus that could potentially affect humans in its entity
irrespective of profession, nationality, age, or financial status to name a few.
I am choosing the random sampling method as this is most effective method in acquiring my data.
I will be conducting one on one personal interviews; this will help me understand the individuals
concerns better and to get honest accurate responses.
The data collected from my survey will be forwarded to the onsite covid 19 vaccine researchers based at
my college. I believe this information will assist them in addressing the concerns before the rollout
begins thus ensuring a smooth effective vaccine rollout takes place. 

Tally
Thank you for participating in our survey. You have provided

important data pertaining to our research…
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Dichotomous
Dichotomous means divided into 2. The division of 2 parts is contradictory. It is a method for
determining the identity of something. A dichotomous key is a listing of characteristics. At each step of
the process of using the key, you are given 2 choices, each alternative leads to another question until the
item is identified. 
Likert
A Likert scale is a unidimensional scale that researchers use to collect respondents attitudes and
opinions.
Discrete
Discrete is characterised by gaps or interruptions in the values that it can assume e.g., the number of
daily admissions to a general hospital. 

Continuous Variables
Continuous variables can assume any value within a specified relevant interval of values assumed by the

Page 23
variable e.g., height, weight. No matter how close together the observed heights of two people are, we can
always find another person whose height falls somewhere in between. 

1.2. Pre-test the questionnaire, if practical – Test the questions with a few of your family members. What
suggestions have they made to you?
I have conducted test surveys with my family, and they were very interested in
answering the questions as they too had concerns regarding the vaccine. They have
indicated that the survey is a good idea in obtaining the mindset of all concerned
regarding the vaccine. They suggested widening the survey to include the elderly as
they will be part of the first rollout of the vaccines. To do this, they suggested I
visit a few old age homes and take along reading material or do a presentation
regarding the vaccines and then get them to answer the questionnaire. This will help
them make an informed decision and make also eliminate some of their fears. 
1.3. Conduct interviews and enter data – Ask the questions. Record the answers to the questions. If this
workbook does not allow you enough space, then you have to use a separate pieces of paper.
Answer below
1.4. Analyse the data – Produce the reports. Calculate statistics and probability
values through the use of calculators. Represent data in the form of tables,
charts and graphs. Use statistics such as mean, median, mode, range, interquartile and to argue a
resolution of an issue. Interpret statistics, and
representations of data.

After conducting the survey, it is evident that there is a lot of concerns regarding the vaccines amongst
all. I believe through the proper education and presentations these concerns can be eliminated.
Pharmaceutical companies and researchers should ensure the public is made aware of the side effects
and are totally transparent in this aspect, as the main concern is the time frame for the development of
the vaccine and the roll out is too soon… Has it been tested properly? This needs to be addressed by the
relevant parties. 

1.5. Review the sampling process. What did you learn from the sampling process? If you had more time
and resources what would you have done differently?

Page 25
I choose the random sampling process as it gave me a chance to speak to different
people and not direct my research to a specific group of people. If I had more time I
would have increased the number of surveys I conducted and perhaps followed my
family’s suggestion of conducting the survey at the old age homes. Due to covid and
the chance of putting the elderly at risk I opted not to pursue this. 

III. You are working on recoveries after invoicing. One of your clients Rack Computers had a total invoice of
R200 000, they paid R210 000. What is the over recovery and how must it be treated in the books of
accounts?
The over recovery is R10 000. A credit needs to be passed to Rack Computers for the over payment.
As a company we need to treat the over payment as a liability as it is revenue received for services not
yet rendered. The customer can either receive service for the value of the over payment or be
reimbursed. Until this is done the amount should be treated as a liability to balance the books. 

13. How can you achieve improvements in productivity?
Track and limit how much time you are spending on tasks. 
Set self-imposed deadlines. This can keep you focus and help meet your goals. 
Stop multi – tasking as this does not allow us to complete tasks efficiently. Commit to a task and then
move on to the next task, this will ensure that we do not have many unfinished tasks but rather completed
tasks in a shorter space of time. 

14. How can an organization in the short term, improve productivity through its employees?
Ensure that employees have the right tools and equipment so that they can perform their duties efficiently
and on time. 
Ensure that offices resources like photocopy paper and paper clips etc are recycled, e.g. photocopy on
both sides of paper. 

Telephone calls should be made for work purposes only and not on personal calls unless its an emergency.
This will reduce overhead costs. 

15. What are the key elements of productivity?
Resources – make sure your employees have everything they need to get their daily tasks done efficiently
such as well performing pc/laptops. 

Recognition – rewarding employees, especially when critical targets or goals have been met, is a great
way to show appreciation and to encourage targeted behaviour. It could be verbal praise or a well praised
email, the little things go a long way. 

Accountability – creating accountability allows employees to own their work and stay productive.
Accountability is not achieved merely by talking about it but by having systems put in place. 
16. Briefly explain the following terms: Ad valorem tax, VAT and income tax.
ad valorem tax is based on the assessed value of an item, e.g. personal property or real
Estate. Ad valorem are property taxes levied on real estate. It may also be extended to several other tax
applications such as import duty taxes of goods from abroad. 

Vat is value added tax which is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added at each
stage of the supply chain from production to the point of sale. The amount of vat that is paid is based on
the cost of the product 

Income tax, is a type of tax that the government imposes on the income generated by
Businesses and individuals. It is a source of revenue for the government. This is used to fund
