5) Nightclub- reduced Unemployment
6)-
7) apple one i wrote sales and volume increase
8) £7.35 or something like that

did exactly the same as this!

Can you remember the question i missed out?

as far as i can remember the answers:
1) secondary research = correct
2) This was about car production this was very confusing i did market orientation = correct
3) Electricity- question about uni students moving home = correct
4) Niche Market - question about lipsticks = correct
5) Nightclub- reduced Unemployment = correct
6)-????????
7) apple one i wrote sales and volume increase ??????????
8) £7.35 or something like that = correct

you have nothing to worry about you did good in mc if you explained everything right and done definitions and explained why one other one is wong

how did you do on the essay questions though???

ah the essay ones were ok, i found the overdraft one kind of hard, didn't know too much to write a 8mark answer . Also the market mapping kind of caught me by surprise i think i got like 3/6 on that one. How bout you were your answers similar to mine for Multi choice and how did you find the essay questions? also what did you write on the overdraft quesiton?

Isn't the answer for question 3 Holidays. Surely electricity would increase if there is a larger amount of people in the household.

no because two households, on a larger scale, would use more than one.. so if they were sharing a house rather than buying their own, lots of electricity would be saved

can anyone remember if question 7 was a,b,c or d?

yeah the overdraaft one was meh. i got like 5 but not enough for higher than that. yeah my multiple choice was exactly like yours but i cant remeber what number 6 was . market mapping was a piece of cake my class spent like 2 weeks about it because half of the class are retards so it really embeded in my brain. i hope unit 2 has the same style of 12 mark or higher questions split up. imagine what it would of been if it was about market mapping and it was a 12 mark question

I can see your point, however I said that holidays will decrease because the family will have less disposable income due to the need to feed/cloth more people.
However I do believe this is a silly question, not really business related.
