    Hi there Sir,

    I was wondering, if the exam is coming to an end and we have not much time left to answer a 5 or 6 marks question, for example if they ask factors to consider when choosing source of debt finance in a company, if I write few point like this

    ” the cost of principal and interest rates, the duration of loan, redemption value, the financial risks of co…” will I be able to obtain few marks although no thorough explanation? Thanks Sir.

    Yes – it will get something.

    Always write something – however little – for every part of every question in Section B.
    Even if it only gets you 1 mark, it makes a big difference if you would otherwise only have got 49% and failed!!
