yeah it was for 20 marks; all questions are though. except the other two have two parts 12 and 8 marks, this is the only difference.

which question did yu make these silly mistakes in?

 

[Sara H]

mistakeS! the recruitment thingy, and i mixed between VC and sales revenue in the break-even analysis diagram. oh well.

 

[yellitgirl]

yea but the point is like u have 20 marks divided into 2 parts.... that means u have more points to write for each part.
if 1 question is for entire 20 marks....u have to make sure u include ALL points possible in your answer.

in the recruitment i said interviews and some other stupid thing, instead of internal and external. and in the diagram the sales revenue should start from origin and total costs from FC, i did the opposite :s

the papaer was great!
i messed up in the job description question! actually i didnt mess up, i wanted to save it for last so i could think about it clearly..but the time ran out and in the last 20 seconds i wrote Allah only knows what! i hope it was the right answer.. :/
and for the 20 marks i wrote the coorporate businesses' answer. in my opinion that was the easiest! BEA was just too long..

I did a silly mistake , I forgot to say the BE shows safety margin SH*T
