sir if we see on chapter 1 question no 3. there is mentioned cost of producing information is greater than value of the benefit of management . plz sir explain i dont understand properly this statement and logic with good explanation
The only point of producing management information is to enable the business to become more profitable – by finding ways of increasing their income or ways of reducing their costs.
However, if the cost of collecting the information (e.g. extra staff etc.) if more than the extra profit that they make because of it, then it is not worth collecting it.
There are answers to all of the examples and also to all of the tests.
The examples are worked through also in the lectures and there is no point in using the notes without watching the free lectures – it is in the lectures that we explain and expand on the notes.
Hi sir, may I know where can I get the answer of Chapter 1 example 1 (pg6)- Comparison of management accoumting with finiancial accouting, couldn’t find the example from course note, video and forum. Thanks. 🙂

There is no reason why you should not be able to study ACCA.
However you should post this question in the general ACCA forum on here and not as a comment on a lecture. Other students will then be able to give you advice as well.
seems like many vedios are not available in china or what. Many vedios are not accessiable for me in china. Damn. But I really appreciate your work. Thanks a ton.
I don’t know if this is the right place to say this but I woud like to say thanks to John. I had F2 exam today(1st attempt) and passed it. It was extremely difficult than I thought but I did it. I used BPP textbook, revision kit & your lectures of course. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication.
Cost accounting is one aspect of management accounting. (Cost accounting is primarily concerned with determining the costs of what is produced, whereas management accounting also includes things like the preparation of budgets)
It depends on what the divisional manager has responsibility for. Just costs (cost centre); costs and revenues (profit centre); or costs, revenue, and new investment (investment centre).
Good day everybody Sir/ Thank you for the lectures here as this my first time using it, I have just gone through chapter 1 lectures in combination with the lecture notes and I would recommend it 100%. I am planning on sitting papers F2, F3, and F4 by the end of February 2015 by CBE. I shall update you with my progress here. Thank you for the lectures and I will come back to it several times today at least a minimum of 5x per chapter.
Sir, I just did my F2 and F3 paper exams and I really tried my best, but which one is easier between CBE and Paper based? I am still awaiting my result.
No – there are no lectures on job, batch and service costing. It is because there are no extra techniques involved extra to the techniques covered in the techniques covered in the existing lectures.
Sir thank you very much for this initiative to help students like us with our studies. God bless you. I’m watching the videos online. Thank you once again for your dedicated efforts to help us. 🙂
