.1. Assessment (arkin* Scheme

The assignment is mar(ed out of 133. The following table shows the mar(allocation and the approach reuired.

Assi*nment Part (ark A44roach

A >3 :ou will need to calculate a number ofratios- not all of which you will submit. :ou




will need to decide which ratios reuire

analysing and eplanations. This is unli(ely

to be more than > or 4. Mar(s will only be

awarded for the plausible eplanation of

appropriate ratios. 5or eample- it would

not be appropriate to eplain movements in!&6<- !&* and !&<) select the investment

return most appropriate to the

circumstance. imilarly an eplanation- for

eample- of payables days increasing by 2

days is unli(ely to reuire eplanation. :ou

should also brieNy Kustify your choice of

benchmar( business.

B

73

:ou will notice that few mar(s are available

here for the actual calculation. 'hat is

more important is your eplanation ofwhich inputs you have used and how you

have sourced them. 5or eample- when you

select a gilt rate you will need to Kustify why

you have pic(ed- say a one day rate rather

than a 73 year rate. Please note how many

mar(s are available for eplanations and

submit a suitable level.

6

73

:ou will need to provide evidence of

researching the deal from a variety of

sources. :our opinion needs to besupported with evidence #duly referenced$.

Bowever do not fall into the trap of allowing

the sources dictate the structure of your

answer. Paragraphs of unrelated points will

not attract high mar(s. :ou should let your

eplanation structure the answer- not your

research.
