Does anybody else think the overheads for Rockingham Forest Peddlers is extremely high? (£234,000) considering they have a 10 year free lease on the outlet and only 2 staff members? I cant think what could account for such a huge amount of money. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated!


This is a massive point to make especially when referring to the break even objective! At the moment overheads are allocated in proportion to sales revenue, a more fair way of allocating could be to do it by number of staff in an outlet or the shops square footage. If they had allocated overheads more fairly and therefore reflected true costs, rockingham forest would've probably already broken even :smile:

So what does everything think the MOST likely questions are going to come up?
I know we can't say any for definite!

How're you all doing with a day to go? :smile:
Im seriously worried now after reading all the stuff you guys have revised. Do you think the decision tree will come up? If not- what else would it be?!

I think there's like 90% chance decision tree will be on, otherwise it'll probably be ratios, can't think of what else it could be apart from them two!

Somebody said something about "times series analysis" but I've never been taught that?!

Me neither! So I assume it's pretty irrelevant to this! I wouldn't worry about it :smile:

On a macroeconomic question i would write about 1. monetary policy 2. unemployment and 3. inflation.... but there doesn't seem to be much to write on inflation affecting ccl apart from price of bike rising ahead of inflation, certainly not enough for a pargraph, any suggestions?

ARR stands for accounting rate of return and is used by business's to assess the financial reward of an investment, in order to decide whether to go ahead with it or not. It basically compares how much money you will get back compared to what you invested. In terms of this case, it could come up in terms of the proposed investment in solar panels and the proposal of acquiring the golf shop.


Thanks

It means when you charge different people different prices for example in CCL during peak times in the summer they put the prices up and lower them for the rest of the year
