    First things first (and I hope I don't sound patronising)
    Well done, so many (far too many~) students look at the examiner's answers before they finish their own. You have finished the paper first.

    I use this paper with my class but add an extra task to try and prevent the common error of using the previous year's capital employed.

    I hope this helps to get you thinking about how the changes in the question will affect the capital.

    Here is a link to my previous comments regarding this question.
