Portobello is an Italian manufacturing company that produces canned tomato sauces. It imports a lot of its tomatoes from Latin America as there isn't the capacity to grow that many tomatoes in Italy. One of the major risks posing Portobello is that the tomatoes must be transported via cargo ship, and there is a risk that the ship may sink, or be delayed by bad weather. Portobello has taken out insurance to cover the cost of the tomatoes should this happen. What technique has Portobello used?

Neruda Incorporated is evaluating potential suppliers' financial standings as part of a tender. Which of the following companies is the most financially stable?
Company D is the strongest. You want a company with high liquidity (this means they can easily pay any debts) and low gearing (meaning that their company isn't financed by debt). This question comes from p.24 of the CIPS study guide. It doesn't go into a lot of detail on financial ratios and gearing, as this was covered in Level 4. If you're rusty on financial ratios and gearing I recommend revising these before the exam.
Which of the following will you put into box 2?
The correct answers are as follows:
ISO 20400 represents what area of business?
ISO 20400 is Sustainable Procurement. This is from p. 51 of the study guide- as well as learning what the ISO numbers are, do also learn the key areas of each ISO as these come up in the exam.
What is the purpose of an indemnity clause within a contract?
Indemnity clauses transfer risk from one party to another. It is an arrangement whereby one party promises to compensate the other party for a trigger event. An example of an indemnity clause could be a construction firm is building a new bridge and the project is supposed to be completed by 1st June. An indemnity clause may state that should the bridge not be ready by this date, the construction firm will compensate the buyer by X amount. See p.61 for more information on indemnity.
