It was not the first 3 months it was for the whole year

For that question it was actually just for the first 3 months. I remember because I did the whole year and first and then re read the question and had to change my answer

Sat the exam today.
Also sat the exam in January and got a C, but resat it today.

Not gonna lie, today's exam was a lot harder than January's.
I was more prepared for this exam then before. I'll be lucky if i pass this time.
I didn't do business at GCSE, but the case-study didn't have many points to say about it, if that makes sense, i.e what to analysis, which related to the question

I dunno how everyone else thought it went, would love to hear your comments, either on here or via a message (message probs best), but ye will let people know results day.

It doesn't really matter though as im dropping this in September, but it would be nice for some extra UCAS Points for uni!

Thank you. The majority of people did the profit for the whole year :s-smilie:

When the question clearly said, calculated the budgeted profit for the first three months, and at the end it had in brackets (Nov-Jan)
What answer did you get?

No it did not. That was the added value question.

The profit one was for the whole year.

The first three months.

The first three months.

If you are saying that the budgeted profit was for 3 months, then what do you think the added value was for then?

Also, what are your answers?

The first three months.

Nope, budgeted profit was for the whole year. (had to add up quarterly incomes and quarterly expenditures and then subtract total expenditure from total income)

This led to an answer of £18,000ish

The value added question was for three months, which was calculated by doing the sales revenue from party bags for Q1 - variable costs from Q1 :smile:

Yeah. It was exactly £18,750 I think.

Did we need to take this into consideration?

For the change in total costs for the break even question (1e) i think it was , could you of done : there was an increase in variable costs by £20 for one unit , therefore for 100 units , that's a £2000 increase onto the total costs , therefore increase the total costs line up by 2 little squares above the 100 units mark , as one little square was worth £1000? Then just placed a line going across this coordinate . Very confused at this question and struggling to think of a CORRECT method to tackle this question .
