The qualification
Cambridge IGCSE Business is syllabus 0264. Cambridge renamed Business Studies (0450) as Business (0264) for first assessment in March 2027, so the June and November 2027 exams are on code 0264. The 2027-2029 syllabus covers the 2027, 2028 and 2029 exams. There are no Core and Extended tiers, so every candidate is entered for grades A* to G. Exams are in the June and November series, and in March for centres in India.

Example
IGCSE Business · Financial information · Profit
A business sells 500 units at $12. Its fixed costs are $2,000 and its variable cost is $5 a unit. Calculate its profit.
Revenue and variable costs are right. Total costs are fixed costs plus variable costs. What have you not taken off?
A sample written to show how a class sounds. The scores show how the exam would credit each answer. Not a real learner.
