Global recessions will cause many businesses to see a significant fall in revenue.

Select ONE answer:

  1. Discount food retailer
  2. Fast food takeaway
  3. Bus company
  4. Travel agent

Show your workings to arrive at your answer, and explain and justify your reasons:

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

This multiple-choice question is suitable for Accounting KS5 classes.

The answer is 4

  1. Not correct – because a discount food retailer may have a negative YED and therefore will see an increase in revenue during the recession.
  2. Not correct – because fast food takeaways may see an increase in revenue as consumers switch to cheaper food rather than going to expensive restaurants.
  3. Not correct – because a bus company can be regarded as an inferior good and may see revenue increase as consumers cannot afford to travel by car.
  4. Correct – Definition of recession e.g. two consecutive quarters of negative growth OR definition of revenue e.g. total amount of trading income generated by sales. During a recession many people’s incomes are likely to be reduced so they are unlikely to go on holiday. Demand for holidays fall therefore reducing the revenue of travel agents.
