Question 3c
Examiners Report
Part (c) was answered reasonably well by many candidates but again weaker answers tended to state, rather than provide a discussion of the possible financing methods. A number of candidates suggested using Islamic finance to finance the acquisition, but unless a specific asset or asset group can be identified to match with this form of finance, it is difficult to see how this can be an appropriate source of finance. The finance source(s) should be appropriate to what it is needed for. Therefore, again, contextualisation to the scenario is important.
