Re: Not hard?

For the business report I put the finical issue as working capital and did factoring as one strategy and made the other up saying pay off overdraft with sales to avoid interest?? Sound right?
This is correct i did the same exact thing.. but as my second strategy i mentioned sale and lease back

Re: Not hard?

But.

Quantity + Quality > Quality > Quantity.

Spending more time = Quantity + Quality.

Doesn't 4 pages (and I have small handwriting) with syllabus references and relevant case studies throughout equate to quality and quantity?

Not sure about overdraft one, it makes sense in theory but overdraft doesnt normally get much interest in general. depends how you addressed it.
Factoring is perfectly reasonable strategy, I did it, but for acc. rec. to turnover as I don't know how you could address working capital with what they gave you. That said, you could off insight which they will probably realise.

Re: Not hard?

I did managing accounts receivable and did the strategies as Batching more frequently and discounts for early payment...

Well obviously not the best Quality + Quantity if your not getting full marks. Maybe if you utilize your time more efficiently you may get 20/20.

Q27 or 28? which did u guys choose?
I did 28, were we supposed to use case studies? I was unsure whether to put them in cause It didn't really ask for them, I basically just assessed the usefulenss of management skills....

Re: Not hard?

I think I did bad today, I only have 10 units.. If a get a maximum of 60-70 (could barely remember syllabus points, crammed the entire subject in 48hours) in the exam how detrimental to my ATAR will this failure be? Is it still possible to achieve an ATAR of 80?

I didnt actually read the rubix I just thought itshould be a case study cuz thats wat they always did and it would be weird if it suddenly changed. I dont think it really matters how u put them into it as long as u mention and relate to it alot? I just used it thoughout my whole answer to answer the question and yea o_O
