Sir I understand in SBL there are 2 marks per point.
The first 1 mark is awarded exactly on what basis? Latter 1 mark we get by justifying our point further, so that is clear to me.
Sorry, for asking another question related to marks. Last time sir, just 1 day to go before exam…
2 marks is only a WORKING GUIDE.
Using the 2 mark basis, I break it down jnto 0.5/1.5. 0.5 for identifying something relevant. 1.5 for explaining why it is relevant and it’s implications.
So:
The economy is predicted to contract (0.5)
The economy is predicted to contract and this will adversely affect our sales (0.5 +0.5)
The economy is predicted to contract and this will adversely affect our sales and cash flow increasing the difficulty we face in servicing the finance of the proposed investment in new machinery (0.5 + 1.5)
