Good evening Mr Moffat, You Rock! A message of thanks for making the online lectures nicely progressive, and good to follow. Today passed my FA at the Online Exams centre in Peterborough! Tomorrow my boss will ask when I’m sitting the next one… but today was great! Cheers!
Hi Sir, My name is Arjun I have passed my f3 paper with the help of your classes and notes along with BPP revision kit. Thank you so much for supporting me.
Hi Sir, Bit confused about the inventory days formula. why is it inventory divided by cost of sales to be accounted as the inventory percentage of the year? instead of inventory divied by the total value of cost of sales plus inventory showing the percentage of inventory unsold for the financial year?

Hi John, a quick question.
If inventory’s realisable value is lower than the cost, are we still to going to put Cost of sales in the denominator to calculate inventory days?
John Moffat says
It would be better to use the cost of the inventory for this purpose (although I would be surprised if you were given that information in the exam).
Ziggystardust says
Noted. And thank you for responding!

Dear John,
In case the question has provided both opening & closing Inventory for Both Years, Which one should we use to calculate Inventory Turn Over?
Thank You!
John Moffat says
The closing inventory

hello sir, is it possible to explain how to calculate the avg of the receivables? ( i suppose the same will be valid for inventory and payable)
John Moffat says
As always, to get an average you add the amount at the start of the year to the amount at the end of the year, and then divide the total by two.

Sir, in gearing and leverage ratios, are reserves also included in share capital?
John Moffat says
They are included in equity. Equity is share capital plus reserves.

John Moffat says
because we are calculating how many days it is taking to sell the goods
John Moffat says
These formulae are not provided in the exam.
meister says
Hi Sir,
Quick question : Are these formulas provided in the exam or are we expected to memorise them?
