How did UNIT4 GOO- Business Studies AQA

OP

i wish i could rewind time and fix my mistakes

why the ef didn't i use pages 2 figures for the last question?

i started talking about the independent/supermarket overall. .
how the independent has little costs there inexperienced they should gain more capital before moving on to the supermarket
how they should use marketing strat,planning,objectives[smart]

total failure

edit* which was the easiest questions you found?

i found the it related one the easiest,
npv was good along with CPA disadvantages.
the rest i improvised & tried making sense of what i wrote

how did u guys workout the net cashflow for the five years? I know how to workout the net present value .. the thing that messed me up is the net cash flow .. I worked out the net cash flow for the first year and it said on the bottom of the box that the sales are expected to increase by 2% I used that to workout the third year.. there were five discount rates for five years weren't there?

The last question I didn't answer it properly .. run out of time.!! I think I failed that exam!

net cash flow as in the 2 mark question?

fixed cost + variable cost was 300K

profit [0.50p x 1m] 500k

500k-300k gave 200k

yr 1 200k x [the year 1 discount factor given]
yr 2 200k x [the year 2 discount factor given]
yr 3 200k x [the year 3 discount factor given]
yr 4 200k x [the year 4 discount factor given]
yr 5 200k x [the year 5 discount factor given]

add em all up.. and take it away from the cost

gives you the npv.. i could be wrong =P thats what i done anyway

3ak I think u done alright .. most of the students in my sixth form couldn't workout the net present value !

i think u missed out something though, it said in the table the annual sales are likely to increase by 2% so u were suppose to use that figure to workout the net return..

in ur answer u assumed that the net cash flow will be the same during the five years!!

lol, you might be right i never saw anything about adding so i kept it simple. .
however a few friends and i were discussing and they said they used 200k each year? So i dont really know =)

Oops, taking away the cost is exactly what I didn't do! How pants, I did all the hard work and flopped at the final herdle. :p:

Yeah, I got £200k for the cash flow, and then 6p per litre and 3.6p per litre for the other calculations. Fingers crossed.

I think in the table thing it did say that sales were expected to rise by a few percent, I'm not sure they were expecting us to take that into consideration though... it was only a 4 mark question.
