      If you click on ‘review quiz’ after submitting your answers then the correct answer (and the workings) will appear.

      The net interest cost of holding cash is 5 – 1 = 4% (or 0.04)

        They lose interest of 5% on the investments sold and earn interest of 1% on deposits. So a net cost of 4%.

    I’ve already passed 7 ACCA papers and I didn’t know about this resource before. It is perfect both for study and revision. Lectures are amazing. Thank you Sir for this opportunity!

      Great (although do make sure that you buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, because they are full of exam standard questions, and it is vital that you do practice lots of questions) 🙂

    Hi John,

    For question 2, I got the answer by;
    Operating cycle= receivables + inventory – payables (50+60-45=65)

    27 million x 665/360= 4,875,000

    Is it ok to do this method?

      Provided you get the correct answer, it doesn’t matter how you arrive at it. (For Sections A and B of the exam, nobody will look at your workings – only the answer is marked)

    Sir in the 2nd question we are not provided with the figure for credit purchases so how can we calculate average parables ?
    Thank you

      If you watch the free lecture, you will see that we have to make best use of the information available and assume the credit purchases to be the same as the cost of sales.
      The lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    Hi John,

    Q4, why spread is not being divided 3. My answer is 100000+ 15,000/3= 105,000

    • John Moffat says

      July 26, 2016 at 4:41 pm

      The spread is the difference between the upper and lower limit. Why do you want to divide it by three? 🙂
      I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on Miller Orr.
      (Our lectures are a complete course for Paper F9 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well)

      And what did you want ‘finish’ to do?
      If you want to see the questions and answers again you press ‘review quiz’.
      I don’t understand why it is causing you a problem!
