Hi Everyone,
Business Paper 1 is tomorrow and I've tried to cover as much as I can given seen the advanced information. Yet, with most business papers, enough revision is never enough. There's always something that comes up that'll take you by surprise and that's where my worries are at the moment.
Which topics is everyone going through? And what methods of revision does everyone find helpful?
I'm going to try to memorise my equations tonight.
Good luck for tomorrow.

we got like maybe 6 hours until this test, i recommend you spend half of that blurting
get a few A4 sheets of paper, at the start of each new one write topic 1 - 9, then closed book write everything you possibly can onto that bit of paper about that unit (i do bullet points, definitions, models, theories, calculations etc..) once you completed a unit and you dont think you could add any more, open your notes or book and add the things you got wrong or forgot to add.
do this for every unit, you have to strengthen your recursive learning skills e.g bringing it out of your mind over putting it back in

I personally found section A harder than usual. Section B was a blessing and so was section C

MCQ were easy enough some i struggled on
the calculations were stuffed for me, i got 6.75 for inventory turnover but i put payables / revenue not costs getting like 55 days. no idea if i got the current ratio right as i put revenue + inventories + receivables as current assets and payables + overdraft for the liabilities i got something like 5.5:1
9 markers were more easy than hard - labour over capital process was a life saver, span of control again easy
for 25 markers i chose the e-commerce one and financial function one - i think i did decently structure was on point however the points did drag on i cant lie i couldn't think of a vast number of counters for both
overall i think it was medium difficulty leaning towards the easy end, i think i got 60% ish right, one down two to go

i said they are needed as the backbone for change - figures and data are needed to support proposals
needed for investment appraisal - low cost will need forecast regularly to monitor progression of objectives
- need to set objectives, gather and analysis data and implement improvements
however they only look at financial and not overall performance something needed if you wore to be looking at low cost strategies
- its expensive - requires big budget for staff
if no finical functions are used then low cost would be based of intuition - many negatives in that
only as good as data entered
if low budget staff are used - data could be wrong - higher unit costs due to errors/set backs
