    Section I - Multiple Choice

    See, I think this is being looked into so much. For this MC Q, we don't look at the business' thoughts and attitudes, just what they gave us. The BoS has gone to effort of specifically putting in 'wrinkle and stain free' for a reason. I'm still inclined towards the marketing approach, but hey...

    Section II - Short Answer

    I said standardisation will help achieve economies of scale as the market would grow, and thus cost savings would follow. Customisation was simply the opposite.

    Section II - Short Answer

    Re: WTF! (financial ratios) It's ok, because the formula was provided. Before, when it wasn't known that we were going to be given the formula, our teacher had told us to write the formula, so current ratio = CA/CL

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    I put specific examples, e.g. Bunnings, but I'm not sure exactly what they wanted. WHAT?! So, 24 pages?

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    Why else would they create a product that was stain free and wrinkle free, or whatever? If it was the selling approach, they would have just made a normal shirt, as this would have cost less. Plus, the marketing approach does involve advertising, it just doesn't rely as heavily on it as in the...

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    They asked for case study material in SA. WUT?! But luckily I had looked over some notes and the exact same Q came up, so it wasn't too bad. The finance essay Q was weird, but managed to write 6 pages for it, so YAY.

    I put country A, as both market for cars increased (10 --> 12 million) and market share increased (10 --> 12%)

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    I think the answer was C. Wasn't the question what they're NOT entitled to?

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    Exactly, because it said that it was resistant to stains and crinkle-free, or whatever, its the marketing approach as they have taken into account the needs of consumers.

    Debentures?

    And just know the pros and cons? Ok, that's cool. Thank you :)

    Debentures?

    What exactly are they? Are they just loans issued by companies instead of banks? The Excel book states: "...fixed interest securities issued by a company that will pay a fixed interest rate on the money loaned to the company" So, basically, a company gives funds to another company, and the...

    Section 1, Part A - Multiple Choice

    That's correct. When we did that experiment (with lollies) that was one of the limitations we put down as a class. As part of the Theory of Evolution and Natural Selection, organisms must be able to reach sexual maturity and pass on their characteristics.

    Who's looking forward to math? :)

    Perms and Combs are a pain. Never in real life am I going to work out the ways 8 people can sit around a table without 2 sitting next to each other. :P Your last exam? If so, wow, that's quick. I'm not too worried about maths. Just taking it as it comes. :)
