Structure of the assignment
There are three separate questions included within the assignment and you should attempt
all three questions. There is no word limit to questions. If any part of the assignment is
ignored this reduces the maximum marks which could potentially be awarded. The
assignment answer should be carefully checked before submission for the use of
appropriate and acceptable grammar. The correct use of English spelling is to be employed
throughout.
All the numbers should be reported in 2 decimal points.
Submission of the assignment
All three questions must be attempted and submitted in one document. You are advised to
prepare your assignment in Word format and copy and paste contents from Excel where
spreadsheets have been used to support your work. Only Microsoft Word file will be
allowed for submission.
Your student ID number should be shown on each page of your assignment.
Your assignment should be submitted electronically via Moodle and you are advised to do
this well in advance of the submission deadline to avoid any system related issues.
Feedback on your assignment will also be provided via Moodle once the marking has been
