Question No : 1


Which of the following is considered as part of ESG?

정답:
Explanation:
The correct answer is bribery, corruption and the environment.
ESG stands for environmental and social governance. It's the new buzzword for CIPS and is basically everything to do with ethical procurement- so areas such as bribery and corruption are included as well as the environment.
Option 4 is incorrect as economic doesn't come into it.

Question No : 2


Which of the following areas of legislative and regulatory requirements prevent the deliberate limit-ing of supply and the formation of cartels?

정답:
Explanation:
the correct answer is 'marketplace competition'.
Ethical practice is about prohibiting corrupt and unfair practice, rather than issues of supply and demand. Although being in a cartel is 'unethical behavior' this option doesn't fully answer the question which talks about limiting supply- this is related to marketplace competition.

Question No : 3


A company's balance sheet will show you which of the following?

정답:
Explanation:
a balance sheet shows 'equity, assets and liabilities'. The other financial statements you need to know for this exam are cash flow statements and and income statements.
If you're not familiar with these three I strongly recommend you do some further reading on this before the exam if you can. This is helpful: How the 3 Financial Statements are Linked Together - Step by Step (corporatefinanceinstitute.com)

Question No : 4


When looking at credit scores, a supplier may be classified as a high risk for reasons that are notlinked to poor credit.
Which of the following could these be? Select TWO

정답:
Explanation:
New organisations or those with no loans/ credit cards may have low credit scores. This is simply because they do not have enough financial history to make their scores good. That means banks au-tomatically class them as higher risk, because they simply don't know that they're trustworthy yet.

Question No : 5


Commodities are items which can be traded on the stock exchange. These are generally divided into four categories.
What are these four categories?

정답:
Explanation:
energy, agriculture, metals, livestock are the four trading categories on the stock exchange. Some-times there's a 5th category added which is 'environmental credits'. This is a fairly new thing and you don't need to know anything about this for this exam.
Question no commodities will mainly centre around characteristics of commodities and factors that affect pricing.
Commodities are discussed much more in detail in L5M4. At level 4 you just need a basic overview.

Question No : 6


Which of the following are primary sources of data? Select TWO.

정답:
Explanation:
Primary data includes trade fairs and exhibits, and phone calls to current suppliers. The others are examples of secondary data.
Remember primary= you do it yourself, Secondary = someone else did it.

Question No : 7


If a commodity index shows that the price of a commodity is continually rising, what does this indicate about the market?

정답:
Explanation:
The correct answer is 'demand is exceeding supply'- If everyone wants to buy something, the sup-pliers will likely increase the price.
If there was little demand or there were threats of substitutions, this would likely result in a price decrease.

Question No : 8


FTSE100 and Sensex are examples of what?

Question No : 9


GDP is an economic index that a procurement professional can use to measure economic data.
What does GDP tell you?

정답:
Explanation:
GDP = gross domestic product = "the monetary value of goods and services manufactured or sup-plied in a financial period". People use it to say whether a country's economy is strong or weak. Stock markets look at the value of public limited companies within a country.
Commodity indices look at the value of commodities such as steel, oil and wheat at a point in time Average changes in price over a year can be measured by CPI or PPI

Question No : 10


Guillerme is a Category Manager within the procurement department of a Manufacturing company. In his Category there are 200 items he procures, and he has recently undertaken an ABC analysis of these.
Which of the following items would be C category items?

정답:
Explanation:
The C category is the 'tail spend' - it represents a large number of suppliers of small value items. I recommend giving this a read ABC Classification & ABC Method | CIPS

Question No : 11


Which of the following financial ratios would indicate a supplier's potential exposure risk to a steeprise in inflation?

정답:
Explanation:
The correct answer is 'gearing ratio'.
Gearing measures how much of a company's funding is based on long-term debt or loans- this would be affected by a steep rise in inflation. If a company has a mortgage on their offices or facto-ry and they need to remortgage and inflation has gone up a lot- they'll be paying a lot more on their mortgage. This will severely effect the gearing ratio as they'll have more outgoings than incoming.
Gross profit margin COULD be affected by inflation, for example if you've got hyper-inflation and the country goes into recession and people stop buying your product. However, this answer isn't al-ways right and depends on many factors- the industry, the product, the company etc, so for the purpose of CIPS should be discounted. There are many industries which are immune to inflation.

Question No : 12


When conducting a competitive tender, is it appropriate to use a supplier's credit rating as a criteria for pre-section?

정답:
Explanation:
The correct answer is 'yes- because a low credit rating would indicate the supplier is financially un-stable'.
The two options beginning with no should automatically be discounted. The other option is incorrect because credit ratings are private and would therefore not affect reputation.

Question No : 13


Pre-qualification of suppliers is used to determine if the suppliers meet the basic requirements of the buying organisation.
Which of the following is assessed at the pre-qualification stage?

정답:
Explanation:
The correct answer is financial stability (this is done by using all of those lovely ratios in chapter 1.3) and capacity and capability (which are part of Carter's 10 Cs).
At PQQ stage you're looking purely at whether the supplier is good or bad (to put it simply). You don't give them details of your requirement yet, so they're not providing a quote / pricing structure / price schedule at this point in time. That would be at the next stage, IF they pass PQQ, when you issue the tender competition.

Question No : 14


Which of the following would you use to determine the outcome of a competitive tender? Select TWO.

정답:
Explanation:
Price and Quality are the two considerations when marking a competitive tender.
Location, distribution and reputation may be considered for SOME tenders, but these would be sub-categories that fall under 'quality questions.

Question No : 15


Robert is appraising suppliers and is keen to evaluate suppliers' contribution to the community and the environment.
Which of the following should Robert look at?

정답:
Explanation:
Robert should look at the supplier's ESG policy. This stands for Environmental Social Governance. So covers both his requirements for community (social) and environmental factors.
ISO 9001 is about Quality Management and ISO27000 about Information Security so these are in-correct answers. An Anti-Slavery Policy would not discuss the environment.
