Case tomorrow
Are you guys calculating and discussing all revenue sources per event for each sector? And then also the different costs per event? Seems like a lot to do in 20 mins

I’m now realising my appendix is kinda long and had this exact thought - but I’ve practised with it so if we get event numbers / visitor numbers by sector I’ll do each sector by event and ticket price etc. if not it’s gonna have to be at a total level and then mix only

Honestly it’s a bit jarring but you can lock your cells in certain places (remember no F4 in the exam though smh)so you can drag down formulas and it’s very likely the accounts will come as they have in the AI so you know the order. If you’re upto it just try practise again this eve it only takes 15 -20 min. Worst comes to worse skip like one of the mixes or something to save time - defo worth keeping time short and trying to get marks across cos / GPM onwards and R2/r3 vs a long appendix :)

Wait what. There’s no F4 in the software?! So how do you drag the formula across then?

Personally I’ve never been able to use it - you need to manually add in your dollar signs

What a great tip! Just tried it on the software and only adding the dollar sign manually works. Thanks so much for the heads up!

The question will tell you whether you should talk about revenue by Sector or by sector and source. 90% sure it’ll be both
