How did you find the paper?

Scroll to see replies

Everyone is saying it was easy but I though the multiple choice was kind of hard. What did you get for current ratio?
Multiple choice was hard, and I defo got current ratio wrong I didn't know what to include I think I got like 2.89
1.37 for current ratio
87.6 for payable days
8.5 inventory turnover
may be wrong

I thought it was alright. Forgot to answer a multiple choice question and I knew what the answer was but as the examiner went to pick the paper I turned to the question so didn’t get to answer it. 25 markers were decent. 9 markers were alright. For current ratio I got 25/19:1, other people got like 105/69:1. They included everything but I only included receivables and inventory divided by payables and overdraft.
I got 1.26:1 but I think it's wrong, what did you get for inventory turnover? I got 6.25 and 87.6 for payable days

edit: just realised I did total assets/total liabilties not current assets/current liabilities, but wrote out the correct formula and expressed the answer to 1, how many marks will I lose?

I got 6.25 and 88 days

I got 87.6 for payables days too, but for inventory turnover I got 6.25 (50/8) and for current I got 25/19 so like 1.3157…

Yup i got the same answers
Payable days = payables/cos
inventory turnover = cos/inventory
CR= CA/CL CA: inventory and receivables CL: overdraft and payables

For the last 25 marker on flexible contracts does anyone know if u have to link to ethics as I didnt think it was a main demand of the question. The question was just 'should all businesses avoid flexible contracts'

i wrote flexible working is good as working from home is motivational and part time workers can help meet seasonal demand. but a seasonal workforce means there are high recruitment costs and overall a less skilled and experienced workforce
