What did you get for the sampling question, where it asked whether it was an opportunity cost, trade off, bias or test marketing

i got that as well, you sure that's right ?
And what did you write for the 20 marker ?
yeah it's right!Bu

for the 20 marker i just said that online Bunches can increase their market size by distributing to different countries, however, the postage is a variable cost so they can't predict their cash out flow..etc etc

Then i said online they can tailor their approach to customers as it's direct producer to consumer blah blach

according to my business books, time as well as money are considered an opportunity cost, not a trade off.

Nice. I put -34 but I thought it was waaaayyy to elastic to be the correct answer. Why did you get for i think the 8 marker on how social trends will affect the distribution channels? and what you hoping to get in the exam
I am doing the exam tomorrow as an internal exam for my school, what topics were covered in exam :smile:
What did you guys write for "How will social trends affect the distribution channels?"

Oh ok, how about the unemployment question? Where it said what does a fall in unemployment lead to

That was hard, I put how it should shift to a more modern distribution channel, as more people found out about all the food that was close to expiry date that was getting wasted. Quite a hard one.

what you get for the YED qu and that one

was it not a trade off because I'm pretty sure opportunity cost is what you could have done differently with the money? idk I put trade off but not 100%

How about the one that asked what does unemployment lead to and it gave the options of net profit, sales revenue, volume of sales and gross profit, I put net profits

i wasn't sure about that one either, i put sales volume because more of the population have a disposable income since less are unemployed. That could be wrong though. But very harsh as you would think that all of them would be a consequence of lower unemployment since people are spending...
