what did people think ? .
i am not sure what the first answer was for the debt:equity question?
i got 1.35:1 , whereas my mate got 1.18:1

anyone got the answer?>
and the rest of the short answers were pretty easy.

not sure bout you but our biz teacher changed our question 27 and 28

foodworks question wasnt to bad..pretty straight forward

 

[oly1991]

yeh it was pretty fair
i used the debt:asset ratio as it is also a gearing ratio, would that be right?
the extended responses were pretty straight forward

 

[oly1991]

oh yeah and if you used the debt:equity it would of been 1.18:1; i know this because it took me like 5 minutes to decide which one i was going to use...hopefully i made the right decision

 

[sir-study-alot]

damn i got it wrong then. there goes atleast 2 marks.
how did you find mutiple choice?

 

[oly1991]

the multiple choice was a little tricky
what did u say about the short answer question about inputs
thats the only question i was a bit edgy on
also, would the debt:asset ratio be a gearing ratio aswell? i hope it is haha

 

[sir-study-alot]

shit. i didnt get that . i hope i didnt skip a question .
well was that to do with globalisation coz we havent done that topic so we put another question in .
please say it was lol ...

 

[bnowland]

it wasn't as hard as expected

 

[lyounamu]

very easy exam
btw agree with above about outsourcing. i mention that the business can focus on its main operations as its advantage and the costs that are involved in outsourcing.

gearing ratio = debt to equity ratio. people reckon it is assets to debt ratio and stuff but the right one is debt to equity ratio.

 

[Sonnie10]

easier than I thought, finished like half an hour early
and a hsc marker who I talked to ages ago, said in the context of hsc exams, gearing = debt: equity

=)

 

[GGo9]

Failed.
How long was your report? I pretty much skipped it and didn't even read the question properly. The other one is ok.
Wait, I think we sat the same exam.

 

[oly1991]

it was just really why businesses outsource operations,
i'm 99% sure it was like..
- to access most up to date and advanced technology
- minimise costs
- higher quality
- better designed elements
hope that helped
i have nooo idea about ratios though, that's what i studied most and as soon as i got in there it was like i forgot it all! haha arrgh

yeh thats good i talked about 3 of those points

yeh true, it wasnt the toughest if exams
do u think it will still be ok useing the debt to asset ratio....because in the book we use in class...it says that they they are both "gearing ratios"...so if i get it wrong, ill just use that to back myself up haha....btw my book is leading edge which is one of the most well known books

Leading edge both mentions debt to equity ratio and asset to debt ratio.

I think syllabus dot point is little bit confusing by the using the word "Gearing". My teacher who has been the HSC Executive marker also mentioned that it is little bit confusing that they did that. He reckons debt to equity ratio is more correct one according to Syllabus. I am not too sure, but surely, you should be able to back up ur response. After all, this is in-school exam. ^_^

I thought it was a pretty easy exam. I managed to finish mc + short answers in 45 minutes and was able to write 3 booklets for the essay and 3 booklets for the report at slow pace. I really liked the essay question, (I did 28).

Also, with the gearing question, I'm sure they'll pay you if you did asset to debt as long as you supported it in the comment in the next bit.

my teacher is really lenient aswell so hopefully i can persuade him to give me those marks haha.....however, if that question comes up in the HSC, ill be sure to use the Debt:equit ratio

what mark will you be content with?

over 97%

I only need +88% to come overall first but to look good on my report I want 97% (which will give me overall mark of 98+)

what did people think ? .

i got 1.35:1 , whereas my mate got 1.18:1

Gearing is solvency, and its debt:equity. The answer was 1.35

 

[blahblah111]

yea i got 1.35:1 as well and thought that it looked a bit wierd
overall it was pretty easy
Ty... Hopefully above an 85

 

[sir-study-alot]

[sir-study-alot]
