Question No. 1

Which of the following is an advantage to the TUPE regulations?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

Continuity of supply for the buying organisation is an advantage of TUPE regulations.

TUPE is the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment). It's when the workforce / em-ployees of one company go to work for another one, usually after their company is bought out. They're transferred to the new company along with the furniture and buildings.

TUPE is UK specific. You don't need to know too much details about it for this exam - just what it is and the benefits. The main benefit is people don't lose their jobs when their company gets bought out. Basic guide to TUPE (pinsentmasons.com)

economic indices and comparison websites are secondary sources of data. The other three are examples of primary sources of data.

Secondary = you find the data from somewhere else


Question No. 3

If a commodity index shows that the price of a commodity is continually rising, what does this indicate about the market?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

The correct answer is 'demand is exceeding supply'- If everyone wants to buy something, the sup-pliers will likely increase the price.

If there was little demand or there were threats of substitutions, this would likely result in a price decrease.


Question No. 4

Why would you use a credit score to appraise a supplier?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

A credit rating generates a score which reflects 'the level of risk an organisation poses when dealing with other businesses'. It's saying how risky it is to loan them money or do business with them by looking at how good they are at paying people. So a high credit rating will say they're good at paying back their loans and paying their suppliers on time. A poor credit rating will say they often miss payments or pay late.

A credit rating will not tell you how much money they have, or details on their prices. Credit scores looks at purely financial data so wouldn't help you analyse whether their business practices are ethical or not.


Question No. 5

Incoterms describe several aspects and responsibilities of transporting goods when sourcing internationally. Which of the following is described by Incoterms? Select THREE.

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, B, D

Incoterms describe who out of the buer and seller; organises transport and what type of transport this is, who pays for insurance, and who organises duty / tariff arrangements when the goods go through customs. See p.131. Note- some students report a lot of questions on Incoterms in the exam, some say they only had 1. If you can, I'd learn them just to be safe.
