Special orders is such as silly topic, you think it'll come up ? Is about negotiating prices with suppliers ?

Special orders as in companies who want to purchase new balance trainers for cheaper than normal, Like India buying a pair for 25£ instead of £55 this makes it a special order

You know investment appraisal my teacher taught us about Net Present Value but I didn't understand it well, she said if the value is positive after all the years then the investment is worthwhile, I was looking online for examples and they all seemed to be positive. How and when can the value be negative ?

Basically everything.

Can we do a thread or something. In which we go through each point in the specification. Then we will talk about the evidence and then new balance?

Can someone help me? I learned the definition of Corporate Culture as being: values,attitudes, beliefs & meanings that are shared by people and groups within an organisation. However, in a past paper it says it's simply: the way things are done. Which one is it??
