Instructions:
• The case presented in this examination is inspired by true events. All names (except for
examiner’s name), characters, places, buildings, and products portrayed in this assessment
has been pseudonymised.

However, you are allowed to use Microsoft Excel for conducting calculations and
https://app.diagrams.net/ to draw diagrams.
• A reference list is included on the final page of this document. Do NOT follow/visit the
sources during the examination; if you do, that will be considered dishonest conduct. I
included the reference list to merely acknowledge the sources that inspired the case.

password protected or uploaded as “read only” files)
