I found the test fair. I'm not the smartest of kids but I'm sure not the dumbest. My cohort found the test fair to easy (rank ~120). However over half of my class had no clue what they were doing. Most didn't prepare which will reflect on their mark. As for myself, I crammed 2 days prior -.-, and found the test sound, and mostly doable, however my weakest point was finance, which is where I fell off. I'd expect a band 5, with the help of my internal rankings, so hope all goes well. But yeah, overall test was better than I expected and am relieved that it's all over.

I don't even remember any finance in the exam.

External Debt. Because the business had low gearing (higher proportion of equity) they could use debt. I said a commercial bill.
I put leasing, but i think i wrote the business is high geared T.T
and now they dont make sense to me awwhhh

haha don't worry plenty of people in our exam room (not my school) go to sleep after 1 hours! A few were snoring. They had to mark "not attempted" on their extended responses. Loosers!:confused:
fairely sure bs wont be counted as part of the hsc then.

Does anyone wish that there was an accelerated business studies subject? I'd personally love it.

owner's equity...float shares blah blah
U'd use internal retained profits

Low gearing = Highly solvent, ie has large amounts of funds, and it was to take over smaller chains.

Why would u dilute your firm to get more money when you already have it..

Use equity finance, nice 100raw mark <3

I think Debt Finance is allowed.

You have to DISCUSS. i.e. advantages and disadvantages for your selected one so you can present the argument for any.

So I think debt or equity (external sources) and retained (internal sources) are all valid.
