Yes, you will get 2 degrees. One will say Bachelor of Business in x grade and one will say Bachelor of Computing in x grade. They are graded seperately.

what u means grades?

Most degrees are graded with either a Pass, Credit or Distinction. Most faculties now have standard cutoffs for these grades (well Business and IT do now).

Basically, they will work out your average mark of all of your subjects in your degree. So for IT, your IT subjects and for Business, your Business subjects (so you'll get 2 different averages). A Pass grade is 50-64, a Credit is 65-74 and a Distinction is 75+. Unfortunately, they don't have HD grades which is a bit of a bummer .

So your degree will read, for example:

Bachelor of Business in Distinction grade
Bachelor of Computing in Distinction grade

or something like that. Forgot the exact wording.

Yes, its WAM, and yes electives are now counted in the WAM for most courses.

Which degree would the elective count towards for Bus/Comp then. Not that I'm going to keep doing it, but just wondering.

Well there's only 1 elective, and its an IT elective, so your IT degree. You use that elective to do a prerequisite subject that you may need for your sub-major (like IBT and Comp Graphs), however ones like IT Management don't need a prerequisite so you can just choose any random subject.
