I almost got tricked by the Net Profit Margin question, will go into detail when 24 hours have passed.

Overall , was a pretty delicate paper. You had to know your stuff, and then the last question is just like ?!?!?!?!

Yaaay me too! All thanks to you "crooked" and for the lst question i tlked abt charging a price that covers cost of production and competitors price ad price elasticity of demand... cdnt think of n e thing else :S
Title: Re: BIZ ppr 2
Post by: IGCSE hater! on June 05, 2010, 02:00:46 pm
for the last question i wrote about how like should the farming company charge a high a price? cuz they have competitors and the business mite take the contract elsewhere and they shud they be like so ethical cuz their competitors rnt and they can like b less ethical so cost of prduction can decrease. and that they r spending cost for machinery so they shud charge a vaule that cud cover that up

the main criteria was to link the ans to the case study..if yuh were successful in combining yer knowledge wid the extract given..yuh've aced it !  ;)

Post by: immortal on June 05, 2010, 02:03:34 pm
because dey r ethical, dey cud charge higher price
Inflation shud b taken in consideration
Da prices of meat is increasing(mentioned in case study)
use other investment ratios
use of discounted payback
etc,etc
but unfortunately i didn't write most of dese :(

i wrote about :
too forecast future demand and supply of meat so that by agreeing to the contract it wont be losing out to huge orders in future.
-by looking at what competitors are charging for their meat so that price charged by BFC does not lose TS.
-by comparing the arr and payback period of agreeing the contract with TS and other,if there are, contracts so that the most suitable high paying offer is taken.
-i talked about cost plus pricing.
-i talked about seeing the acid test ratio current ratio of TS to determine how much they will be able to afford and if they agree to buy on installments then whether they will be able to pay back the debts

Thats pretty much

the only mistake i remember in this paper was

I wrote that by switching to batch production there will be more flexibility and workers will get motivated.

sh*t it seemed so logical back them

but i think other points were correct

the only mistake yuh did was to add 'more'. otherwise it wud've been correct..cux they are flexible and motivated upto an extent.
