    Introduction
    Thank you for participating in these brief job simulations!

    We would like you to do 3 tasks on the computer. When saving files make
    the task name the file name.

    Good luck, relax, we know this is all new and unnatural.

    Task 1 PROJECT PLAN

    Now first draft a quick plan on Excel or Word outlining how you will
    proceed in this simulation project to obtain the maximum marks for your
    maximum time of 60 minutes. Spend at least 5 minutes on this project
    plan which must not be longer than a page. You can ask questions to
    Claudia. Please save your Project Plan as your 1 st file under your personal
    folder created and then proceed with the rest.

    Task 2 NUMERICAL TEST

    Draw up a schedule on Excel to calculate the recommended selling


    price (not rental) of a parking bay in the Wale Street Chambers area.

    Property selling prices are calculated by the following formula, which is a


    commercial property standard valuation method:
    Monthly rental times 12, divided by 10% and then VAT is added to that
    price (VAT is 14%).

    Other information needed for your calculation:


    Comparable parking bays in the Wale Street Chambers area are fetching
    the following rentals:

    City Park hospital R600 p/m per bay before VAT


    Tarquin House R600 p/m per bay before VAT
    Shaps R730 p/m per bay before VAT

    Your recommended price should be calculated on the average of the above


    3 rentals.

    Please save your task 2 in your personal folder.


    Task 3 MARKETING LETTER

    Attached is the description of the BER Macro service. You may write notes
    on the BER Macro service document should you need to.

    The CEO of a large listed company wants to purchase the Macro Service
    and asks you to summarize the service in not more than 250 words (or
    half a page) for him to give to his board members. This letter should
    motivate them to want to subscribe and it should cover all aspects of the
    service.

    Once you have finished all the tasks you may email them back to Claudia.
    Please remember to write your end time at test time above the heading
    of task one.
