Yeah I found it actually pretty ok. It was really nice to have that extra 15 minutes as well. Although to be honest, the case studies (especially the first one) where really dull.

To be fair, i did think that the last 12 marker was a bit of a curve ball but I think I pretty much aced it because I think all it wanted was you to acknowledged that some potential customers might have valued the fact that the company produced green energy (product) whereas other customers might value the price more.

I think you might have got to multiply it by 100 to calculate the percentage.

ye for the 12 marker i wrote price may not be important and promotion may be important to help with promoting the use of like green energy and stuff like that but u know for the 9 marker about how the uk government help small business and the 2 options were reduce tax or free training what did u put?
