Something like 290million
Yeah I got 290 million. I wrote down what letters I got for 1-8 any one else do the same!? Also for section B of inflation increases will people buy more at the pop up store?
That paper was quite hard actually, what was the business plan answer? Retained profit i put

What even was that paper? 😭😭😭😭😭

I also got 290 million. If inflation increases, I said that customer confidence decreases as prices are less stable, so people will buy less.

I think it was kinda sneaky for them to put in an economics based question on government spending and inflation, when govt spending is such a small part on the syllabus. Also no previous question in Section A and B on past papers has ever been on govt spending. :frown:

I also put down retained profit.
1. Market orientation
the Indian rupees question was a
business plan question was retained profit
hawk-eye one was there was no guarantee of operating profit
equation one was operating profit was 290 mill before i think

Thats all i can remember atm (THESE ANSWERS ARE NOT 100% CORRECT)
the first question ,i messed up i realised its market orientation when i was going over -last minute ugghhh. other than that it was okay i guess. oh and 2 non price factors for increase in demand i put market size & advertising- but did not explain too well.

Grade boundries may not be too harsh because i'm guessing last question worth 12 mark was to do with economics

hope you all did well :smile:
