QUESTION 3 (LO 4: AS 5)
Read through the following case study and answer the questions that follow:
Goody’s

Goody’s is a fast food business in a busy shopping centre. It is open from 7:30 in the
morning until 5:15 in the evening. There is a big menu outside with a list of tempting
foods and nice smells wafting out of the door.
Many people work in the shops and offices in the centre. Hundreds of shoppers walk
past Goody’s every day.
Mary, the manager of Goody’s, makes many different foods, ranging from toasted
sandwiches and pies to cooked meals such as bobotie and beef stew. Prices are
reasonable and there is something to suit everyone’s income.
Mary also sells frozen family meals which she finds are very popular with working
mothers who buy them on their way home after work.
Goody’s also makes platters for office parties. The platters are large dishes with a
selection of finger foods such as roast chicken wings, sausage rolls, meat balls, fish
fingers, savoury tartlets, baby tomatoes, carrot sticks and other raw vegetables. “I make
platters where people can eat everything,” says Mary. “Also, our platters are cheaper
than our competitors’ platters. News of our platters has spread quickly among the
offices in this area.
When the business first opened, they put fliers under windscreen wipers in the car park
of the shopping centre and the offices nearby, but now they find they do not need to
advertise.
Mary says that the owners of the shopping centre have plans to renovate it. They will
close off certain parts of the shopping centre while they do this. The owners will give
business temporary places during this time. “I hope they give us a position where all our
customers can find us easily,” says Mary.

 Read the following passage.

 South Africa will be staging the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup. Our country needs
 to be ready for this event. The government should ensure that all major roads and
 stadiums are in good condition. The businesses e.g. hotels need also to ensure
 that there is enough accommodation for all tourists that will come to the country.
 Raw materials are bought to make goods that will be sold during the world cup. In
 doing this they plan to get more profits.
 Citizens also are busy with plans to get more money during this period. They
 offered to rent out their houses for accommodation to tourists; some will use their
 houses as Bed and Breakfast facilities. The economy will benefit a lot during this
 period.
 Many people will get part time jobs during this period. There will be a lot of
 informal businesses running e.g. people selling goods and services to the tourists.
