    I am sure he will. Yes I did. think the servers playing up.

    How would you account for this. Seeing as its not an associate anymore, you will not equity account?

    WOW!

    Mike after that I swear, I am fired up πŸ™‚
    Beautifully put though harsh but if anyone I needed that kick up the Backside

    I will practise questions and move on and on. Only reason I said 50 marks last because mentally I think lets try and reep the marks in that question. But depending what the questions are I will go ahead and do that.

    How much more time will you need to think what ques 1 may be around?
    Thanks for the advice I am sure I will have mroe questions but question related.

    In terms of 2 sittings, 4 sittings is cool- at least it allows you to keep your knowledge all year around to help us πŸ™‚

    Thanks for everything always appericate it πŸ™‚

    What did peeps get for cost of investment for margin?

    I thought it’s the cash consideration at 2013 after the associate period

    Then was you meant to add the equit interests which I think was 705m which would have given the total cash consideration?

    Also there was U apportioned profits so I think these should have been allocated so 40% of the profit before the 80% subside ty should also been added to cash consideration?

    Will u loose a lot if marks for incorrect numbers even though the approach was somewhat correct

    Is this in connection with outsourcing?

    Hi,

    Apologies the secnario further states that the seller of the machiene is willing to provide a gurantee for four years that it will not sell to any other company. The machiene will need replacing at this time and the old machinery can be expected to have zero residual value.

    Thats the extra bit of information, but the question specfically asks to calculate would this be margin analysis i.e. break even point/ break even revenue and margin of safety. Thanks

    Hi Thanks for your help above.

    The scenario mentions a whole section on compeititors

    But at the same time it takes about the economy, recession etc, I am confused to which model to use, PEST or 5 forces. I mean, it seems clear to use 5 forces but then how can one bring in the points of recession, and exchange rates
