Also did you use the fixed costs and variable cost per unit figures from the first page of the case study? Because thats all i could find for financial data other than the cash flow forecast on the next page

If my calculation for my break even output was correct then I thought it went pretty good overall.

I worked out the profit for both as well, was a bit pushed for time on the last question to be honest but I said choosing option 1 meant that Alex would get expert advice from the publisher etc. as he can offer ideas from outside the business as well as give marketing support and setting up a website etc. etc.

Those sound good. Did you get the £1600 fixed costs and £4.90 variable costs from the 1st page of the case study under the option 1 bit?

yes
yes
Yeah for the last question i got about £11,000 profit if he sold 6000 books.
The question that baffled me was the 6 marker on why he'd need to take out an overdraft if he amends his cash flow forecast. Any ideas?

i think i referred to the fact his net cash flow was -7000 so he'd need a short term source of finance

Ah ok yeah sounds good. Do you remember what the 2nd definition question was? I know the first was to define a niche market.

I to was rushed for time at the end and couldny really put a final judgment so ive probably restricted myself to about 6-8 marks max for this.
