Which of the following are examples of investment appraisal techniques? Select ALL that apply.
Investment appraisal techniques help assess whether an investment, such as purchasing new machinery, is financially viable. Return on investment, cash flow impact, and payback period are all investment appraisal methods. Liquidity and gearing assess financial health but do not determine whether to make an investment.

Greg is the manager at a car wash and is trying to work out the break-even point of his business. Which of the following pieces of information will he need to consider to understand his break-even point? Select ALL that apply.
Greg needs to know his fixed costs, variable costs, and price per car wash to determine his break-even point.
For example, if:
Fixed costs (rent, bills) = 100/day
Variable cost per car wash (soap, sponges) = 5
Price per car wash = 10
The break-even point is when revenue = costs, which means washing 20 cars per day (10 20 = 200 revenue, covering fixed and variable costs).
Number of customers (C) is incorrect, as this is calculated from the break-even formula, not an input.
Number of employees (E) is incorrect, as it is not a direct factor in the break-even calculation (only their wages as part of fixed costs).

Which of the following is a difference between a supply chain and a supply network? Select ALL that apply.
A supply chain is a simple, linear system where products move from A B C.
A supply network is multi-layered, with horizontal and vertical connections, making it more complex.
Dimension difference (B): Supply networks have larger dimensions, with multiple supply channels and flows.
Complexity (C): A supply network is more intricate than a single supply chain.
Number of players (D): Supply networks involve more entities than a simple supply chain.
Profit made (A) is incorrect, as both supply chains and supply networks can be profitable.
Location of players (E) is incorrect, as both supply chains and networks can be local or global.

Company A manufactures wheels for Company B, which manufactures cars. Traditionally, Company A would complete the wheels and conduct quality assessments before sending them to Company B, which would then begin assembling cars. However, a new CEO at Company B has introduced a technology system that enables simultaneous production, meaning Company B starts manufacturing cars at the same time Company A begins producing wheels.
What is this new system known as?
Start to start means two different organisations at different levels of the supply chain begin their work simultaneously rather than sequentially. This is the opposite of a start to finish system, where the next process starts only when the previous one is completed. (See LO 1.2, p.19)
In a bottom-up process for planning and control, who would make the strategic plan?
Operational staff would make the plan and pass this up to senior managers for approval. This is the opposite of a top-down approach, where senior managers make the plan and tell the operational staff what to do. (See p.187)
