Ummm ok I mean messed up on the 10 marker didn’t evaluate dept factoring was running out of time messed up on one of the calculations but couldnt go back and fix it- over all not bad I’ve been going over possible loss of marks this can be best case 65 /80 plus worst case 60/80 - but 2 more papers so hopefully prepare more to get good over all

Pretty good! All the maths questions went great and essays were fine except from the one about SMEs which I didn’t really have many points to talk about in, but overall not a bad exam

hi guys I feel like the exam went pretty well, but I am panicking that I left out some questions becuase I can’t remember all of them. What was the question AFTER question 1 about working out market share and why the big 4 had a full in market share
I think Question 2 was about the SMEs. well part c was SMEs i can remember that

For the 4 marker on how they could survive what did people put I said since they have loyal customers then something can’t remember hopefully said about they are likely to repeat purchases and increase revenue to survive covering costs then bulk buying since they can and able to pass on cost of savings their revenue must cover costs if not they would charge higher prices ect not sure if it would get all the marks but

I’m pretty sure there was a question before the 4 marker about survival right?

if anyone could tell me the question/s in between the SME 8 marker and the 2 markers on working out contribution per unit and break even output it would be appreciated 🙏

Umm not sure if it’s the right order but there was
After break even - the cash flow forecast , brand definition added value calculation and one way to add value - I said ups in luxury fillings or different style of bread . After sme wasn’t it the break even
