Se ction A M arki ng gui de 1)  Differentiate betw een an entrepreneurs an d a manager (2marks) - The entrepreneur is the one that starts the business and the business idea creator while the manager does not start the business himself. - The entrepreneur is the owner of the business enterprise while the manager is not the owner of the business but an employee assigned to play the role of managerial responsibilit y. - The entrepreneur is one of the factors of production that must be there in order to organize other factors of production. Without him other factors are rendered useless while the manager is just an employee therefore part of labour. - The entrepreneur can be the owner of the business and a manager at the same time but a manager can hardly become the entrepreneur of the business for he is just part of the hired labour force. - The entrepreneur is sole source of new ideas and creative innovation that aim at fostering new competitive reformations in the enterprise, while the manager’s major role is to implement and to put into action the policies, ideas and plans of the entrepreneur. Therefore he/she is not the initiator of fundamental ideas that come with great changes in the enterprise. - The entrepreneur has all the powers of employing the manager therefore the powers of terminating his/her services. The manager in this sense is an employee like any other worker and can hardly sack his entrepreneur or the “Boss”.  - The risks that may be faced by the business enterprise are shouldered by the entrepreneur who is in this case the owner of the business, and by all means has to organize all the resources at hand to see that some of the risks are prevented before they affect the well-being of the business; while the manager has personal responsibility over the risks, he/she can only assist in the implementation of the strategies that the entrepreneur has designed to avert the risks. - The income in form of profits earned by the business enterprise is totally for the entrepreneur and has financial obligation over the transactions that may occur. The manager on the other hand only receives a salary as c learly stipulated in the contract given to him / her. -  An entrepreneur does no t require skills to become one but managers require skills to becom e managers. -  An entrepreneur bring s new ideas in the bus iness whereas a mana ger may not but implements what is told. - b) Diff e r e nti ate be twee n a pur chas e s day book and a pur chas e s r e tur n book?

b) Give four factors which you would consider whi le choosing a good fi nancial i nstitution to deal wi th

(2marks)

-  I nterest rate . In case of borrowing, banks with relatively less interest rates should be chosenwhile in case of lending; one would prefer the one with relatively high interest rate ondeposits.

-  Proximity . Banks which are easily accessible are normally chosen than distant andinaccessible ones especially if they offer same services.

-  Legal procedures. A person tending to deal with any financial institution should also

consider whether the institution is registered by the central bank or not. In this caseindividuals and groups should deal with registered financial institutions only.

-  Customer care. This is an important aspect of any business. Financial institutions whichhave good customer care are normally liked than those without.

-  Payback period. This refers to the time / period with in which bank debtors pay back loansand their interest rates. Financial institutions that give a long pay period are normally likedthan those that give short payback period.

-  Conditions of issued loans . Financial institutions that give soft loans should be chosen fasterthan those that give hard loans.

-  Service delivery. Financial institutions that give quality and quick services are moreconvenient while those that give poor quality and slow services should be avoided.

-  Time of operation. It is better to deal with a well-established financial institution than a

newly established one. In other words it is better to deal with those that have been inoperation for a longer period of time than new ones.

-  Securi ty r equir ed. Banks which require low marginal requirements are more appropriatethan those that require high marginal requirements.

3. Explain f our thi ngs a business need to know about their competitors

-  Their competitors’ prices

-  Their competitors location

-  quality of their competitors’ products

-  Their competitors market share

-  Their competitors strength 

Their competitors techniques both in production and in market  -  Their competitors opportunities 

-  Their competitors weaknesses

-  Their competitor’s threats. 4. Br iefly explain four dif ferent types of market surveys

-  Customers’ survey: This is a procedure through which a producer or a trader tries to findout customers’ attitudes towards his products on the market or the products that he plans

 put on the market. 

-   Product/service analysis and quality control: This basically refers to asking questionsabout a product and forming answers. It means experts analyzing a product or a memberof the general public or potential customers or a group of people. 

 And

-  quality control  

This is a process which attempts to minimize or eliminate errors in the quality of a

 product. 

 It can also be defined as the process of ensuring the production of an output that meets

the required standards of customers. 

 It can also be defined as a set of working / operational techniques and activities

established from the time of purchase of raw materials up to the end of the production

 process that ensures the production of good quality products.

 -   Suppliers’ survey: Supply survey is the process of finding out and establishing the best

 potential suppliers of a given input or product. 

-  Competitor analysis: This involves comparing a company's products with products of

other similar companies, alongside comparing the strength, opportunities, weakness and

threats of all these companies. 

5a) define the term franchising (1 mark) 

-  it refers to a promotion/marketing strategy that can be adopted by a firm/business toincrease its sales where it uses the name of a well -established or know business to become

known also to the public.  

 Franchising. This is another way of promoting business growth where by an established

 firm/company allows a new firm to use its name while trying to promote its new products. For

example ISHEMA HOTEL allowing ISHEMA SHOPING CENTRE LTD.

b) A business had an opening stock of 200,000 Rwf, purchases of the 150,000 rwf and closing

stock 350,000rwf. Calculate the average stock (3marks)

 Average stock =

 

=

 

= 275000rwf  

6a) Define the term sampling (1mark)Sampling is the collection of information/data from a few but representative member of the population tobe generalized for the whole population.

b) Br iefl y explain any three sampli ng techniques used in business research (3marks)

-   Simple random sampling . This is obtaining data by choosing elementary units in such away that each unit in the population has an equal chance of being selected. Simple

random sampling should be free from bias. 

-  Stratified sampling . This is a sample that is obtained by choosing by independentlychoosing a separate simple random sample from each population.

Using this method the population is divided into separate groups basing on somevariable/ characteristics such as income or age. These groups are referred to as strata.

Select from each stratum a given number of units which may be based on to draw

conclusions. 

-  Cluster sampling . This is obtained y selecting clusters from the population on the basis of

 simple random sampling. A cluster may be something like a village, a school, a class or

a hospital. 

-  Convenient sampling .Where the researcher questions whoever is available. This method

is quick and heap. However we do not know how representative the sample is and how

reliable the results are. 

-  Quarter sampling . Using this method the sample audients is made up of potential

 purchasers of your product. For example if you feel that your typical customers will be females between the age of 19-25,then some of the respondents you will interview shouldbe of this age group. In this case quarters are given. 

-   Judgmental sampling/ purposive sampling  

Page 4: Mock Marking Guide. 2docx

8/10/2019 Mock Marking Guide. 2docx

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mock-marking-guide-2docx 4/27

This sample is obtained by basing on the idea that people who are deemed to be havingmore relevant information are sampled out especially if they have the relevant

characteristics of the target population. 

-   Snowball sampling . This is a method in which the researcher identifies one member of

the target population, speaks to him/her and asks that person to identify others in the

target population that the researcher might speak to. This method has an interestingapplication to group membership.

10. Briefl y explain any four cannons of a good tax system (4marks)

-   Ability to pay: A good tax system should consider the capacity of people to pay the tax assessed

on them. In other words a good tax system should be in such a way that a tax payer is in position

to pay a tax assessed on him. This mainly depends on the level of income of a tax payer.

-  Simplicity: A good tax system should be in such a way that the method of collection, calculation,

e.t.c are easy to be understood by both tax payers and collectors. If they are not easy to be

understood, it can lead to resistance by tax payers.

-  Convenience: A good tax system should consider how and when to pay taxes, should be

convenient to tax payers e.g. if they are farmers, it should be levied in seasons of selling their

 products or harvesting.

-   Elasticity/Flexibility: This refers to the rate at which a tax base changes e.g. if there is an

increase in the tax base, taxes should also be increased.

Page 6: Mock Marking Guide. 2docx

8/10/2019 Mock Marking Guide. 2docx

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mock-marking-guide-2docx 6/27

-  The principle of certainty. A good tax system is the one whose base, time of payment, amount to

be paid e.t.c is known.

-   Neutrality or impartiality. This means that a good tax system should not discriminate tax payers

if they are all supposed to pay the same tax.

-  The principle of equity. This is concerned with spreading the burden of the tax according to

income of the tax payer. This principle suggests that people or tax payers should feel the burden

according to their incomes thus it is categorized into two. (a) Horizontal equity: This suggests

that people with similar incomes should pay the same amount of tax. (b) Vertical equity: This

 suggests that people who earn differently should pay different amount of taxes-  The principle of economy / efficiency. This suggests that the costs of collection and

administration of the tax system should be low. This enables the government to realize the

revenue expected to implement its plans.

-   Productivity: A good tax system should be able to encourage personal initiative or encourage

hard work. In other words it shouldn’t discourage the rate of investment. 

-   Diversity or comprehensiveness. A good tax system should cover a wider source or base or as

many tax bases as possible so that a lot of revenue can be realized.

-  Optimal: A good tax system should maintain a good balance between tax revenue and

expenditure on provision of social services e.g. roads, hospitals, and schools e.t.c. This

encourages tax payers to pay tax in time and without evading it.-  Consistence: A good tax system should be (i) Consistent in line with national economic objective

especially in allocation of resources (ii) It should have an inbuilt stabilizer. It should have a

 stabilizing influence on the economy e.g. ability to control inflation, unemployment, regulating

balance of payment position.

-  The principle of double taxation. This states that any tax base should never be taxed more than

once.

existence of a variety of commodities available for sale. These ones help to maintain and attract

new customers.

  Franchising. This is another way of promoting business growth where by an established

 firm/company allows a new firm to use its name while trying to promote its new products. For
