hmmm, i was much more confident about multiple choice till i came out and listened to everyone arguing about answers i now think i may have fucked a few up :( ... but the short answer was awesome, and the report wasnt too bad as sumone sed lots to write about .... extended response was ok too, but it took alot of like involving other related issues to fill the space, cus it was a weird question :\

i agree basically with what every one else is saying.
i found some multiple choices seemed to have two right answers?? or am i just retarded? haha. the question on why a company would lease delivery trucks (q 11) i thought it could have been to limit cpaital costs AND minimise long term costs to the company...any one got an idea on that one??

Ur definately not retarded lol i agree with u there! I was tossing up badly for that question. I chose the capital costs one for that!

I made up so many stats and figures for how companies expand globally. :uhhuh: I just got a question or two.

* Did everyone get the Working Capital as a 1:1 ration for the shorts?
* What were sources of finance? I put equity finance, capital markets, retained profits, owners equity, bankbills + overdrafts for expansion but I am just abit unsure.

I wrote so much rubbish in the report and just constantly dropped in "the words". :D

Yeah I was really happy with this paper. There weren’t any surprises and the questions were very fair. I thought the short answer questions were excellent. I'm glad I read up on influences affecting consumer choice the night before though.

sources of funds means equity and debt financing only. u dont have to go into detail about specifc ones. should of talked about global equity markets and dereg of financial markets and borrowing from overseas. not specific examples
