Profit & Loss Account Worksheet GCSE Business Studies (EdExcel Applied mainly) (Version 1)

This activity gets students to complete a profit and loss account for the fictional, Barmy Burgers. Students must use all the data on the handout to complete the various activities. This is part of a differentiated task - there are three handouts which you might give to all students to complete in succession, or group students based on ability. If basing on ability, this is not the most challenging of the activities.

Business Location - Choosing an appropriate location - Starter Task / Discussion

(7)
A nice little task when teaching Business Location. Print or display the drawn choices of possible locations. Students complete the handout by selecting an appropriate location (by letter) and giving their reasons for their choice. There's no answer sheet, but selections should be appropriate with sensible reasoning. This could then lead to a class discussion, a nice starter! Apologies for my drawings! I'm no artist... Enjoy

Display: Famous People in Business

(4)
Descriptions of 10 famous people in business. Great for a small display. I’ve cut the answers off mine - you could cut these out separately and dot around the display so learners just have to match them up - or perhaps cover the names up. PDF format as it’s unlikely you’ll have the font to match.

This is a four page booklet designed for GCSE Business Studies to introduce Working Capital. Students must first (on page 2) decide whether each item is an asset or liability and whether the assets are fixed or current and the liabilities are long-term or current. On page 3 they review what assets and liabilities are. On page 4 they must write the formula for working capital (Current Assets - Current Liabilities) and then calculate in an exam style question. Enjoy!

Business Proposal - an EASY introduction to Business Studies (display opportunity)

Print this sheet on A3. This is a quite engaging and relatively accessible start to Business Studies, particularly for Year 9 or low ability groups OR useful for PSHE or Enterprise lessons. They DRAW their idea for a business (there’s a shop front, so most will come up with businesses in retail, though could equally be a service based business like Estate Agents etc.). They then design a logo, flyer and come up with a business name. After this (which is a good introduction), I teach GOODS and SERVICES and SECTORS then get them to complete their sheet fully. I also get them to colour and make it look good for display. I’ve also included a version I made for new students who had just arrived from Poland. Enjoy.
