A business decision balances quantitative evidence with context. Calculate accurately, name assumptions and explain how a recommendation addresses the case rather than repeating a definition.

Match practice to your actual course
Northern Ireland’s year numbering differs from England: GCSEs are normally studied in Years 11–12, followed by Years 13–14 in sixth form. SEAG is a selective-school entrance assessment, not a requirement for every pupil. Years 1–14 · Primary & post-primary. Your school’s subject choices, topic sequence and assessment tasks determine the detailed plan. The practice set below samples business decisions and financial reasoning; it is not a complete syllabus or an official exam paper.
03
Prepare a useful question for your tutor
Bring one attempted question and show your working or first draft. Explain what you tried and where the reasoning stopped. Together, identify whether the difficulty is confusing revenue with profit or a missing prerequisite, then try a fresh problem independently.
Understand it. Try it. Review it.
Put your business studies learning into practice.
Worked example · Business decisions and financial reasoning
A product sells for $20, variable cost is $8 and fixed costs are $600. Find break-even output.
Contribution per unit = 20 - 8 = $12.
Break-even quantity = 600/12 = 50.
Selling 50 units covers these costs under the stated assumptions.
Common mistakes to check
