質問 # 201
One approach to managing supply risk is having multiple suppliers for a product. Which condition justifies multiple sourcing?
A. It restricts competition within the supplier base
B. It is suitable for high-value, one-off requirements such as machinery
C. It is suitable for high-value requirements such as raw materials
D. It increases risk and costs of switching suppliers
正解：C
解説：
Multiple sourcing is most suitable for strategically important, high-value requirements such as raw materials.
This approach reduces dependency on a single supplier, improves resilience, and increases competition. One- off requirements like machinery (A) are not suited to multiple sourcing, while options B and D describe disadvantages, not benefits. Responsible sourcing requires risk mitigation strategies tailored to the category, and multiple sourcing is effective where continuity and bargaining power are critical.

質問 # 202
Private sector procurement organisations should always allow suppliers at least 35 days to respond to invitations to tender. Is this statement true?
A. No, because the complexity of the tender should inform the response timescale
B. Yes, because that timeframe is internationally recognised
C. Yes, because it helps suppliers to plan and prioritise
D. No, because this timeframe causes unacceptable delays
正解：A
解説：
The 35-day minimum applies to public sector procurement under EU/UK directives, not the private sector. In private procurement, response times should be proportional to the complexity and value of the requirement.
Simple RFQs may require only a few days, while complex tenders involving technical submissions may justifiably need weeks. Responsible sourcing involves ensuring suppliers have fair opportunity to respond adequately, but without unnecessary delays that could affect business needs. Therefore, rigidly applying a fixed number of days in the private sector is neither necessary nor efficient.

質問 # 203
Elaine works for a British manufacturer of confectionary (sweets/ candy) items. One of the key ingredients is cocoa powder, which cannot be grown in the UK. Elaine therefore needs to look abroad for suppliers. Which of the following are risks that Elaine needs to consider when sourcing internationally? Select THREE
A. export tariffs
B. shortened lead times
C. ethical behavior
D. cultural differences
E. currency exchange fluctuations
正解：C、D、E
解説：
The correct answers are; currency exchange fluctuations, ethical behavior and cultural differences.
Shortened lead times is not correct because sourcing internationally would result in longer lead times. Export tariffs is not correct as Elaine is importing the items into the UK, not exporting them.
質問 # 204
In order to assess whether a company is able to meet its current liabilities, which financial ratio should you use?
A. Acid Test
B. Return on Equity
C. Gross Profit Margin
D. Gearing Ratio
正解：B
解説：
"Meet current liabilities" is a posh way of saying "can you pay your bills". You're therefore looking for a liquidity ratio- a ratio that looks at assets vs liabilities (i.e. money in the bank vs money owed out). The Acid Test is a liquidity ratio. It's sometimes called the 'quick ratio'. Both terms come up on the exam. The other options are financial ratios but aren't for liquidity.
