Section C: Short-answer questions

Question 1
a. Define the term organisational stakeholder. (1 mark)
An organisational stakeholder is a person or group that has a vested interest in the operations of
an organisation. That may mean that they have responsibilities towards the organisation and/or an
interest in the activities of the organisation.
b. Name and outline the interests and expectations held for Potters Pty Ltd of one
stakeholder group from each of the following environments of Potters Pty Ltd. (3 x 2 = 6
marks)
1 mark each for naming each appropriate stakeholder group. 1 mark for correctly identifying
appropriate issues and expectations of each identified stakeholder group3 x 2 = 6 marks.
i. internal environment
Shareholders generally look for a return on their investment, therefore profits, and may also
have environmental and social responsibility concerns. Employees look for good wages and
working conditions and fulfilling employment. Managers look for financial performance.
VCTA
page 21
ii. operating environment

Trade unions represent employees and have similar expectations to employees and look to be
involved in decision-making regarding employee issues. Customers look for value for money,
good customer service and high-quality products at the lowest possible price. Suppliers look for
prompt payment of accounts, sometimes ethical and social responsibility concerns, and a longterm relationship that ensures a guaranteed income. Creditors/banks look for payment of debts
and loans. Competitors are interested in maintaining a competitive advantage over a competitor
business, and are interested in benchmarking their performance against the business.
iii. macro environment
The government expects to receive taxation revenue from business income and wages earned,
it expects that all laws applying to the business will be followed, that the business will engage in
ethical practices, and that it will continue to contribute to Australias economic growth. The
wider community expects the business to engage in ethical and socially responsible practices,
and to continue to provide employment for its workers.
c. Identify and explain at least one factor that demonstrates that Potters Pty Ltd would be
classified as a small business by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. (2 marks)
Potters Pty Ltd employs 15 people, which means that it would be classified as a small organisation
by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, that is, fewer than 20 employees.
d. Explain what the letters Pty Ltd denote about the ownership structure of this business.
Discuss the advantages that this form of ownership structure has for the owners of the
business. (3 marks)
Pty Ltd after a business name signifies that the business has been incorporated as a private
company. The letters indicate that limited liability applies to the owners should the business be
unable to meet its financial commitments. This means that the owners are risking only the money
that has been invested in the business and will not be required to sell personal assets in the event
of the business being unable to meet its financial obligations.
e. Jim and Gemma are intending to franchise this business. Explain what this means and the
implications for them and the franchisee that purchases the new branch of Potters Pty Ltd.
In your answer, explain at least two advantages and two disadvantages of purchasing a
franchise rather than starting a new business from scratch for the new franchisee.
(8 marks)
1 mark for an accurate definition of a franchise. 3 marks for an accurate description of the features
of a franchise operation. 4 x 1 marks for identification of two advantages and two disadvantages of
being a franchisee (that is, 2 + 2 = 4 marks).
A franchise is a business based on the purchase of a franchise licence from a franchisor by a
franchisee. The franchisee pays for the right to use the trade name, products and operating
systems of the franchisor. The franchisee must follow what is stipulated in the franchise
agreement.
Franchises are generally proven systems and offer support to the franchisee. Therefore, this is
usually the safest option out of the alternatives available. Training, marketing and a proven and
recognisable brand name are other advantages.
Disadvantages of purchasing a franchise include the lack of control the franchisee has over their
own business, the lack of flexibility, and the added costs and charges to be paid to the franchisor.
VCTA
page 22
f. Suggest and justify an appropriate location for the new outlet of Potters Pty Ltd. In your
response consider the following factors. (4 marks)
i. the location requirements for a retail outlet
ii. the requirements for conducting childrens birthday parties in terms of location
2 marks for identifying and explaining one appropriate location factor for a retail business. 2 marks
for identifying and explaining one location requirement for a business holding childrens birthday
parties.
The business is a retailer and requires a position that maximises visibility and therefore sales, that
is, an area with a high volume of passing foot and vehicle traffic. The business would attract both
impulse buys and planned purchases, therefore visibility is important.
The availability of parking and easy access to the premises is essential for the childrens birthday
parties. A large amount of floor space is also necessary. Occupational health and safety
considerations for children are another requirement, such as nearby pedestrian crossings, toilet
facilities, no hazards on the premises, and safe access points. In addition, an online presence
would assist with sales.
Question 2
a. List and describe three skills and/or qualities that would be advantageous for the owners of
the type of business described above to possess. In your answer, explain how each skill or
quality mentioned would benefit the business owners. (6 marks)
3 x 1 marks for an accurate definition and description of three relevant skills or qualities. 3 x 1
marks for accurately showing how each skill/quality could be useful to a small business operator.
Examples of skills include: communication skills are required when serving customers (customer
service skills), dealing with staff, and marketing the services of the business; communication and
negotiation skills would be needed when dealing with suppliers; decision-making skills would be
needed when planning any changes to the business; basic accounting or financial management
skills would needed to manage the finances of the business; organisational skills would be needed
to manage the resources of the business; and food preparation and coffee-making skills
(hospitality skills) would be needed by the owner/operators.
b. Which option for embarking on small business ownership would you recommend be
adopted by Marco and Matthew as having the most chance of financial success? Give
reasons for your answer. (2 marks)
Students may recommend any option, providing they are able to provide a logical justification.
An existing business, especially a successful one, may have more chance of ongoing success as it
has established customers, a reliable income, a network of contacts including suppliers, trained
employees and an established reputation (goodwill).
A franchise may be the best choice as it offers a proven operations system, brand recognition, an
established image, training, and assistance with business set-up.
A new business may be the best option if it is based on an innovative concept; start-up costs may
be lower than a franchise or an established business; new staff can be trained from scratch to
meet the expectations of the new business; there is no history to overcome that may disadvantage
the new business; and the owners will have more flexibility about where to locate the business.
VCTA
page 23
c. Which option would you advise if Matthew and Marco were considering an innovative idea,
such as a new type of cuisine for their cafe? Give reasons for your answer. (2 marks)
The best option for a business plan based on an innovative idea would be to start a business from
scratch. The owners will have the flexibility to develop the business concept in a way that is unique
and will not be limited by either the restrictions that are associated with a franchise or the history of
an established business. A franchise, in particular, will not allow for the innovation.
d. Which option is likely to be the most expensive in terms of establishment and operating
costs? Give reasons for your answer. (2 marks)
Any of the three options could be the most expensive. Starting a business from scratch means that
all resources and equipment needed for the business will have to be purchased. Purchasing an
existing business will include the cost of the goodwill that has been developed. On the other hand,
purchasing a franchise includes an up-front purchasing fee and supply costs, as well as ongoing
monthly fees based on sales.
e. Explain what a feasibility study is. Would you recommend that Marco and Matthew conduct
a feasibility study before embarking on this business venture? Give reasons for your
answer. (3 marks)
1 mark for definition. 2 marks for recommendation with valid reasons.
A feasibility study is initial research that is conducted to ascertain whether a business idea is viable
(feasible) or not. A feasibility study reduces risk and gauges whether there is sufficient demand for
the product at the prices to be charged. It also identifies barriers to entering the market and
resources that will be required.
f. Explain what a business plan is. Discuss two advantages of writing a business plan for a
small business owner. (3 marks)
1 mark for definition of a business plan. 2 marks for discussing two advantages of preparing a
business plan.
A business plan is a document that sets out the details of a business or business proposal, the
direction the business intends to take and how it intends to achieve the goals.
The advantages of writing a business plan include: it clarifies and establishes clearly defined goals
and objectives; it helps to identify the risk involved; it helps the owners to determine if a product
has a sufficient market to support it and whether the venture will be profitable; it helps to keep the
business on track; it enables a realistic estimation of start-up costs and needed finance; having a
business plan will help the owners to obtain finance; it can be used to identify the competition in
the marketplace; and it enables a realistic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the
business idea.
g. Identify two potential sources of support, advice and assistance in establishing and
operating a small business that the two owners of this business could utilise for little or no
cost. (2 marks)
2 x 1 marks for identifying each source of support.
Examples: Business centres; industry associations; business mentors; previous owners; websites
such as the ATO website, business,gov.au, the Business Victoria website and the Department of
Innovation, Industry, Science and Research website (innovation,gov.au); TAFE business courses.
VCTA
page 24
Question 3
Identify a complementary business that the owners of each of the following businesses would
want to be located near. In each case, explain the complementary effect that the businesses
would have on each other. (3 x 2 = 6 marks)
3 x 1 marks for identifying a complementary business for each business type. 3 x 1 marks for
explaining why each business is complementary.
i. a pharmacy
A pharmacy would be complemented by a doctors surgery, as patients could have prescriptions
filled after a consultation. Another complementary business would be a community health centre.
ii. a milk bar
A milk bar would benefit from having a school nearby, as the milk bar could supply items to the
school such as milk, lunches, and students or parents could purchase items on the way home from
school.
iii. a fast-food outlet
A fast-food business might want to be located near a supermarket in a shopping centre to have
ready access to supplies and potential customers or near entertainment venues, such as a cinema
where people want to purchase food before or after seeing a movie.
Question 4
a. Outline one way each of the following types of laws is likely to affect Norkids Pty Ltd.
(3 x 2 = 6 marks)
2 marks for each accurate answer outlining the effects of each type of regulation.
i. local government by-laws
Local government by-laws include health regulations that are enforced by health inspectors;
other examples include laws relating to noise levels, fire hazards and parking.
ii. occupational health and safety laws
Occupational health and safety (OHS) laws aim to ensure that workplaces are safe for workers
and that any hazards are removedOHS inspectors enforce these.
iii. equal opportunity employment laws
Equal opportunity laws govern how workers are recruited and treated in the workplace; for
example, job advertisements cannot specify gender or religion, and job candidates cannot be
asked questions in job interviews that could be used to discriminate against them, such as
What are your child care arrangements? Employees who are discriminated against can lodge
a complaint with the Victorian Equal Opportunity & Human Rights Commission.
b. Explain two instances in which the owners of Norkids might require the services of a
lawyer. (2 marks)
Lawyers can be employed for: completing the legal requirements of changing the legal structure of
the business; managing compliance requirements associated with the existing private company
legal structure of the business; providing commercial law advice; representing the business in
court over a commercial dispute such as a breach of contract or to recover a debt; managing
intellectual property such as Norkids brand name or trademark, preparing documents relating to
commercial leasing or conveyancing related to the purchase of premises; preparing contracts with
suppliers.
VCTA
page 25
c. List and describe two different types of suppliers that Norkids would depend on. Explain
the importance of reliable suppliers of good-quality supplies at competitive prices to a
business like Norkids. (4 marks)
Any type of supplier can be described, providing it is relevant to the business. 2 marks for listing
two different suppliers. 2 marks for explaining the importance of reliable suppliers.
Examples: Nappy wash product suppliers, food suppliers, labour contractors, employment
agencies. Suppliers are crucial to a business. A suppliers unreliability will affect the ability of a
business to operate effectively, thus affecting its profitability. The quality of supplies will also
determine the quality of services that the business can provide, hence affecting its
competitiveness.
d. Describe two market research strategies that the owners of Norkids could have used before
commencing the business. What types of information would each strategy provide?
(4 marks)
2 x 1 marks for naming each market research strategy. 2 x 1 marks for explaining the types of
information each strategy would provide.
Examples: Surveys and interviews will help to determine their requirements and preferences of
potential customers, such as what they are looking from a child care centre, what facilities they
expect to be provided, and how much they are prepared to pay. Norkids could have used this
information in planning their business. The Norkids owners could refer to Australian Bureau of
Statistics demographic data, such as Census statistics, to help them identify a suitable location for
the business. This information could have helped them to locate the business in an area where
there are many young working families.
Question 5
a. Explain what a key performance indicator is. Discuss how key performance indicators are
used by business. (2 marks)
1 mark for a definition of key performance indicator (KPI). 1 mark for explaining how they are used.
A KPI is a criterion or measure used to evaluate business performance in terms of its effectiveness
and efficiency. Businesses use KPIs to measure effectiveness in achieving stated goals and
efficiency in the use of resources.
b. Explain and justify an appropriate key performance indicator to measure each of the
following aspects of the performance of a business. (2 + 2 = 4 marks)
i. financial performance
Financial performance can be assessed using measures such as profit (what is left after costs
are deducted) or revenue (gross income).
ii. levels of environmental responsibility
Levels of environmental responsibility can be assessed using measures such as amount of
waste produced, the number of violations of environment protection laws, levels of greenhouse
gas emissions, and energy and water use.
VCTA
page 26

4 x 1 marks for each type of decision in the 12 months prior to commencing the business. 4 x 1 mark
for each type of decision made during the first 12 months of operation.
Types of decisions made in the 12 months prior to commencing the business include:
