    Please sir could you please help me with how the financing decision concerning gearing will affect the investing and dividend decisions.
    thank you
  7. John MoffatTutor
    This has nothing to do with activity based costing, and is not relevant anywhere in the Paper PM syllabus!!

    Hi, Can it be said that traditional absorption costing tends to over-estimate overhead costs for high volume products?
  14. John MoffatTutor
    Yes it can :-)

    Thank you for all the information in the class, I would like to know when Variable costs are less compared to total production costs, is ABC implementation cost effective or not? Thank You
  21. ABDULLAHI
    Thank you so much. i really admire your wonderful presentation. i have started revising using kaplan. one more clarification, when we use traditional OAR the low-volume products are under-allocated. i was wondering if the company decide to switch to ABC the net result will be increase of OH for the low-volume product always. What if the product has the highest ratio in the cost driver?

    thanks.
  22. John MoffatTutor
    It will tend to increase the overhead cost of low-volume products. Whether in fact it actually always does depends on all the factors involved (the individual costs and activities etc..)

    Hi Sir,

    I am going to be taking the Performance management exam on march 2021, I was just wondering if using a kaplan exam kit of september 2018-august 2019 is okay?
  24. ellesouth16
    I mean september 2019-june 2020 exam kit, Sorry.
  25. arijfarooqi
    Hello!! Can I use june 2019 bbp revision kit for march 2020 attempt?

    please reply me asap.
  26. tfh588
    It will probably work out fine, but I bought the latest "BPP Practice and Revision Kit" today and it specifically covers Sep 2019 to Jun 2020 examinations.

    FYI: the eKit cost less than £10 from BPP when I used the 20% discount code provided from Open Tuition

    It doesn't really matter when you do the questions in the Revision Kit. However one problem there can be is that some questions are testing more than one topic in the same question and obviously although we cover all the topics, each one is covered in separate lectures.

    Probably the best is to finish watching all the lectures (and attempting our short online tests after each lecture). When you have finished studying then work through all the questions in your Revision Kit. If you find you have forgotten some of the things from the lecture then refer back to the lectures where necessary.

    Hi,

    What and where is the MCQ test?
  32. John MoffatTutor
    There is a short test on each chapter. The tests are linked from the main Paper PM page.

    (They are only quick tests to attempt as you continue you with your studies. As we make clear in the introductory lecture it is essential that you buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers because practice using past exam and other exam standard questions is vital to passing the exam.)

    Do you have the text of lectures? For me it is clarify to read then to listen.
  34. John MoffatTutor
    No. Only the free lecture notes that go with the lectures.

    Refer the subtitles
    Captions
  36. John MoffatTutor
    We do not have the resources to be able to supply subtitles.

    Youtube does have an auto-subtitling system which can you read off of during the lectures (I do and find it helpful!). Although, beware that it has a lot of errors as it's not checked over by anyone. --I assume this is what the comment above me is referring to.
  38. John MoffatTutor
    Thanks for that :-)
    However there is nothing we can do about any errors there might be in the subtitling.
