Which two topics have appeared in every N5 Business Management exam paper?

Sources of Finance and Ethical Production have appeared in every N5 Business exam. Ethical Production won't this year though as it's one of the topics omitted from the exam!

If Ethical Production won't be in the N5 exam this year what are the chances that Methods of Production will be? I'd say really high. It's been in every other paper, bar one.

Did you know that the most popular topic not to appear in last year’s Higher Business paper was Inventory Storage and Warehousing. I wonder if it will be in this year?
