Ansoff's Matrix is used when a Firm's objective is Growth. So if the case business' objective is growth then go right ahead.

A minute per mark will leave you with 45 minutes to plan and answer the final question and reading time according to Tutor2u

1 mark on every question, in my opinion it's very difficult to spend 18 minutes only on 18 markers though -_-

Return on investment relative to the market price of the share. Good for comparisons with other investments as it gives it in percentage terms :smile:

The percentage of their share price they are recieving as dividends.

That's a bit weird considering I have seen so many papers marked 58 and over. Not only that but a few people in my class got A's, they never even attempt to answer any questions in class and if they do, they give vague answers! Yet, they end up with A's in exams. :confused:


I guess you got some good teachers because mine are clueless
How did everyone find it then? I found it relatively easy :biggrin: Answered all questions relatively confident, just worried about the fact that I wrote far too much against the proposal in the last questions :s-smilie:

Did you get 3 years and 1.2 months for question one and ARR of 13%?
Also, I ran out of time so could only write two points in favour and one against for the last question :/
Good paper though

Hey... Calm down. Most people are pushed for time for this paper. I had to rush the final two questions and didn't write half as much as I wanted to. I also didn't use any ratios but as long as you utilised some of the other data that was given, I'm sure you've done fine. Just calm down, get this one out of your head and focus on BUSS4 and your other remaining exams x
