I’m guessing that due to the length of Q1 everyone over ran it slightly, 1.5 marks per good point made so out of 14 that must be 8-9 points to explain plus marks for calculations of materiality regarding intangible assets etc.. Luckily ethics was big in this exam so most of Q2 and all of Q4 so finished everything just in time along with Q3 on quality control.
rogman228, Nah no specific number. As it was 10 marks assumed that it would be maybe 2/3 marks per explained point so you will get most marks available
Fair exam, actually mentioned the models to use in Q1.) (PESTLE and Five forces) relate them to the case and explain how they impact the company and how they give them value (helpfulness I assume).
2.) 15 marks for financial analysis, basically show that company has declined in terms of profitability, gearing has risen etc. but is relatively efficient in terms of current ration, payable & receivable days. Think you needed only a couple of these indicators and then explain if this makes the company a risk from insolvency. 10 marks for picking software package so 3/4 points to make.
3.) Project Management, 5 marks for explaining what a project is and how it differs from routine activities performed by the company. 20 marks for 4 documents, explain what they are and examine why they are needed for project success.
Assumed software choice relates to the company you are sourcing it from (risk from liquidity), if it fits the requirements SOP needed it for, security features (encryptions, protection from Malicious hacks etc.), staff reaction (training provided, resistance from implementing it i.e. is it difficult to use). Those were the ones I put but there should be plenty to choose from and explain.
