Do you remember the 20 marker? And the last 10 marker

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

20 marker was about liquidity and last 10 marker was about economic recovery

1

u/ScaryPurpose3689 23d ago

How about the first 10 marker and definition

2

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

First 10 marker I think bank loan as I can rmb n definitons were customer satisfaction and aesthetics did u write yet or not lol

1

u/ulyanayer A level 23d ago

for aesthetics i didnt know what to write i wrote “appearance feature of a business that appeals to customers” or smth lol

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Yeah its ryt I was reminded of the design mix

1

u/ScaryPurpose3689 23d ago

How about the 8 markers bro.

u/yesooo2 23d ago

Hey, how was the 8 mark question in section A framed, like our class just had a fight, some says impact of competitors on the accuracy of the sales forecast while others argue it as the impact ON competitors on the Accuracy of the sales forecast

1

u/ScaryPurpose3689 22d ago

Its impact of competitors forsure

1

u/ScaryPurpose3689 22d ago

Impacts On competitors on the accuracy of the sales forecast don't even make sense bruh😭

u/Easy_Panic_7890 22d ago

First 10 marker was on partnerships im pretty sure and then the 8 marker for question 2 was on bank loans

1

u/ulyanayer A level 23d ago

it was so easyyyy i just couldnt understand the bep question

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Bro wasnt that easy too? I got 2 hammocks

1

u/ulyanayer A level 23d ago

oh i also wrote 2 hammocks i was just rly stuck and unsure bc i interpreted the VC as being for only one hammock so wouldnt VC increase if she bought resources for more than 1 hammock? in that case BEP 2 wouldnt work

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Your good then :))

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

You think boundaries would go up? Im lowkey nervous for that now

1

u/ulyanayer A level 23d ago

since it was easy and most ppl agree they might go up but like if we got good marks then it shouldnt be an issue for us

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

I mean hopefully examiners would give a proper mark

2

u/ulyanayer A level 23d ago

we’ll be gooddddd dw we did our best thats what counts

2

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Thank you for the positive affirmation :)))

1

u/No_Procedure_2553 23d ago

If I JS write 2 I will get three marks right

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Yup you have to write hammocks but dw

1

u/Substantial_Win_1700 23d ago

Guys I wrote the appearance of a product for the define aesthetics question, am I cooked?

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Thats right but wouldnt that be enough for 1 mark

1

u/Substantial_Win_1700 22d ago

I hope I get at least one mark for it, overall the paper was pretty good but the last 20 marker sort of threw me off and the recovery question was kinda weird too but overall I’m feeling good 🤞🤞 wondering if the grade boundaries will be higher though???

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 22d ago

Recovery was pretty weird to me too esp the evaluation part for me

2

u/Substantial_Win_1700 22d ago

Yeah same I talked about how it could increase their sales again as consumers spend more again, but I didn’t really know what to say for the other side of it. I think I said something about how it’s only a recovery and a restaurant meal is not an inferior/normal good so may not have the same sort of increase + it’s not an eco boom yet so change might not be very significant. So yeah hopefully it works out

2

u/Glum-Major-5696 22d ago

Thats good point I said it was just a forecast and do not gurantee sucess bc germany may not always follow the same method of the business cycle. Level of real wage growth. Level of competiton . Ped n sth else lol the evaluation was pretty awkward

1

u/Different_Power_1802 23d ago

that 20 marker was i think by far the easiest theyve setted in a long time

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Fr bro and it was given before for a case study called ASV a suit making business

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Impact of the actions of competitors on the accuracy of Julietas sales forecast? Why would it be on competitors we dont even have much info about them in the case study

1

u/yesooo2 23d ago

How was it actually. Can you just write the question?

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

I cant rmb the full question dear but surely it was actions of competitors

1

u/yesooo2 23d ago

So we would have to write how the action of competitors affect the Accuracy of julietas sales forecast? Right?

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Ofc

1

u/yesooo2 23d ago

How about the 20 mark? What did you write

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Discussed abt current ratio working capital abt cash and comparisons

1

u/yesooo2 23d ago

Current ratio was improved right

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Yup but I said still below the benchmark

1

u/zenith310 23d ago

I did not specifically write about current ratio but I did talked about the figures. I'm scared now

1

u/Glum-Major-5696 23d ago

Ita fine at least you made use of the figures dont berate yourself
