Re: Not hard?

Stuffed up short answer about revenue controls. :( Got cost centres right, but not revenue.
Probably 18/20 for multiple choice;; there was 1 I wasn't sure about.
18/20 for report 16 for extended I reckon

Surprisingly little on management, specifically business structures..?

The reason i didn't put down common is only because would the responsibilities of all employees be covered solely in precedent?

Also, was permanent part-time correct, i think to be classified as full-time you have to work more than 34 hours or something.

Re: Not hard?

Would implied conditions be right for the first part of the first business report as one ethical/legal issue?

I had a mental blank during the extended respnose Q27 and forgot how to spell 'diversification' and decided to write it as 'diversafication' in messy writing so the marker might think its only cuz of the messy writing. Will Spelling 'business terms' wrong give a bad impression to the marker and be marked down?

It is one of the dot points if that is what you are asking so yes.
If you proved it right.
I just said that it is implied that the jerseys are of satisfactory level eg. they dont fall apart.

yaeh its part time. think about it a full time job would be 9-5 which is like 8 hours a day so definitely not full time
Part-time is defined as less than 30 hours of work so yes part-time :)

I hit about 8 pages in biz report and 6 for essay

Only thing I really screwed was that I forgot to do the extended in business report format, did the whole thing as an essay even thought I got every syllabus point out :/

If you mean question 27/28 then you didn't screw anything

Can someone tell me if everything i spoke about for Q26 was right?

First part - price discrimination and implied conditions
second part - I said the issue was the working captial - talked about liquidity and my strategies were factoring and sale and lease back
third part - spoke about the impact of grievance procedures, worker participation and team briefing

I said liquidity, because liq. is the businesses ability to meet short term debt. and The statement shows that, how much money you have. It doesnt show net profit/gross or anything like that. I know it doesnt show assests and liabilities either but it still determines the ability for a business to meet its liabilities.
Yes in a sense it does, BUT, as the statement shows sales and expenses i thought that profitability would be a more viable option.
Oh well, we will have to wait and see.
