| dc.description.abstract | This supplementary examination paper for BEC225 and BEC225E, "Introduction to Financial Management," is a 3-hour assessment worth 75 marks. Students are required to answer three questions: Question 1 from Section A (compulsory) and any two questions from Section B. The paper covers various topics in financial management, including the economically active population, money markets, capital markets, financial statements, business ethics, different types of business ownership, and financing methods. Section A, Question 1 (multiple-choice), covers foundational concepts such as the definition of the economically active population, characteristics of the money market, aspects of the stock exchange, the purpose of financial statements, the impact of ethical behavior on businesses, types of business ownership (sole proprietorship, partnership, close corporation, company), characteristics of limited liability, and the roles of capital markets and money markets. Section B offers several essay questions. These include analyzing the financial performance of a hypothetical company based on provided financial ratios (debt-to-equity, current ratio, quick ratio, earnings per share), discussing the differences between various sources of capital (e.g., preference shares, debentures, ordinary shares), exploring reasons for a drop in shareholder equity in a scenario involving labor disputes, and evaluating the suitability of debentures as a financing method for new business ventures in a specific drought-related scenario. The examination aims to assess students' theoretical knowledge and their ability to apply financial management principles to practical business situations. | |
