  2. fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy
  3. energy, agriculture, metals, livestock
  4. chemicals, agriculture, metals and livestock

energy, agriculture, metals, livestock are the four trading categories on the stock exchange. Some- times there's a 5th category added which is 'environmental credits'. This is a fairly new thing and you don't need to know anything about this for this exam.

When looking at credit scores, a supplier may be classified as a high risk for reasons that are not linked to poor credit.
Which of the following could these be? Select TWO

  1. The organisation is new
  2. The organisation has no loans or credit cards
  3. The organisation has lots of fixed assets
  4. The organisation does not employ many people

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

New organisations or those with no loans/ credit cards may have low credit scores. This is simply because they do not have enough financial history to make their scores good. That means banks au- tomatically class them as higher risk, because they simply don't know that they're trustworthy yet.

  1. revenue, profit and expenses
  2. equity, assets and liabilities
  3. cash coming in and out of the business
  4. profit, loss and assets

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

a balance sheet shows 'equity, assets and liabilities'. The other financial statements you need to know for this exam are cash flow statements and and income statements. If you're not familiar with these three I strongly recommend you do some further reading on this before the exam if you can.
