General Thoughts: Business Studies (3 Viewers)

I found the test fair. I'm not the smartest of kids but I'm sure not the dumbest. My cohort found the test fair to easy (rank ~120). However over half of my class had no clue what they were doing. Most didn't prepare which will reflect on their mark. As for myself, I crammed 2 days prior -.-, and found the test sound, and mostly doable, however my weakest point was finance, which is where I fell off. I'd expect a band 5, with the help of my internal rankings, so hope all goes well. But yeah, overall test was better than I expected and am relieved that it's all over.

I don't even remember any finance in the exam.

hey guys, what did u put for the source of finance for the take over?

 

[zhusalmz]

External Debt - low levels of gearing - make use of debt - etc

 

[mrbananaman]

hey guys, what did u put for the source of finance for the take over?

External Debt. Because the business had low gearing (higher proportion of equity) they could use debt. I said a commercial bill.

[obliviousninja]

haha don't worry plenty of people in our exam room (not my school) go to sleep after 1 hours! A few were snoring. They had to mark "not attempted" on their extended responses. Loosers!

fairely sure bs wont be counted as part of the hsc then.

[obliviousninja]

owner's equity...float shares blah blah

 

[JT145]

owner's equity...float shares blah blah

I wasn't 100% sure if Pty Ltd was a public company lol so I just wrote retained profits

 

[obliviousninja]

u can still issue shares as a private company.

 

[Drifting95]

100 raw guy is correct

 

[jasonz1c]

Does anyone wish that there was an accelerated business studies subject? I'd personally love it.

 

[sumthingreal]

why owner's equity. the business was on low gearing

 

[sumthingreal]

btw 90 raw unless somehow i fucked up all my circles wen i rushed my check and edit for mc in last 4 minutes

 

[NFmusic1995]

owner's equity...float shares blah blah

U'd use internal retained profits

Low gearing = Highly solvent, ie has large amounts of funds, and it was to take over smaller chains.

Why would u dilute your firm to get more money when you already have it..

Use equity finance, nice 100raw mark <3

I think Debt Finance is allowed.

You have to DISCUSS. i.e. advantages and disadvantages for your selected one so you can present the argument for any.

So I think debt or equity (external sources) and retained (internal sources) are all valid.
