Text Formatting ⇒ Help on Text Formating

Hello dear friends

I am typing a some questions for a class and want to show the mark allocations in the same line with the text without using either minipage or flush right as below. How can I do this. Please help. Please check the commands below:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\author{Misheck Diza}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
	\item{For every investment venture to be successful one needs investment vehicle called an asset, compare and contrast real and financial asset\begin{flushright}
	(10 marks)
	\end{flushright}}
	\item{State whether the following assets are either financial or real:
	\begin{enumerate}
	\item{Industrial Property\begin{flushright}
	(2 marks)
	\end{flushright}}
	\item{Commercial Paper\begin{flushright}
	(2 marks)
	\end{flushright}}
	\item{Comoran Stock\begin{flushright}
	(2 marks)
	\end{flushright}}
	\item{Treasury Bills\begin{flushright}
	(2 marks)
	\end{flushright}}
		\end{enumerate}}
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

You are thinking too complicated.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
	\item For every investment venture to be successful one needs investment vehicle called an asset, compare and contrast real and financial asset\hfill
		(10 marks)
	\item State whether the following assets are either financial or real:
		\begin{enumerate}
			\item Industrial Property\hfill (2 marks)
			\item Commercial Paper \hfill (2 marks)
			\item Comoran Stock    \hfill (2 marks)
			\item Treasury Bills   \hfill (2 marks)
		\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Please note, that \item can take an optional argument, but does not have a mandatory argument.

I recommend looking at packages like exsheets or the exam class that are made for doing this job.
