    Hi Gromit,

    The model answer always squeeze all the points in one paragraph. For example,

    It is over trading as revenue rises and this is mainly funded by debt. As a result, gearing has risen from 107% to 197%. Additionally, the future of the company seems to depend on one big project.

    To facilitate marking, should I write the new point in new line?

    Additionally, the future of the company seems to depend on one big project.

    I think that one point to a paragraph is a good choice. It ensures that none of your points are overlooked. However, be careful not to let this approach develop into one or two words per point. Make sure each paragraph fully describes the point you are making.

    How the marker counts the marking?
    For example, “Additionally, the future of the company seems to depend on one big project.”

    The sentence above can be considered one mark?

    Better if you were to say something like:

    “Additionally, the future of the company seems to depend on one big project. If that project were to fail then the company’s future would be in jeopardy”.

    This really points out the problem/risk just to make sure of the mark.

    It seems not easy to obtain one mark.
    How many mark can obtain from the sentence below?

    “It is surprising that APX does not seem to measure resource utilisation. Resource utilisation is a important measure that use to measure utilisation of accounting staff in the firm.

    For example, it can be measured by the percentage of billable hour to total working hours of the film.”

    Could I obtain 2 marks based on the sentences above?

    Hi Gromit,

    Could you help me to check the marking for question above?
    Thanks.
