Course Information
Commerce is a new, innovative subject that combines the best of Accounting, Business Studies, and Economics.
You have an opportunity to learn foundational skills that will help launch you into the Level 2 subjects of Accounting and Economics.
The three areas of focus are:
- How do we get what we want? In this area, we learn about the NZ Economy, how to make financial decisions, and the consequences of these decisions.
- A closer look at Profit and Price. With this area, we look at what profit is, what money is, why price is important, why prices change, the influence of the market, and if debt is good or bad. You also get to run your own business!
- What is Financial Interdependence? This area introduces and develops the Circular Flow model and brings it to life.
With the range of topics being covered, the course shows how Accounting, Business Studies and Economics connect and complement each other. There are lots of stories, activities, and fun examples to work through to reinforce learning.
