Hello!
If the previous msg was for biblio, then its fine..you might have to confirm the sequence in which you have to write things, and if the author is named for a particular article, then mention it.
Ahhh, regarding the limits, following is the text I picked out of the OBU infopack:
The word limit for your Research Report is 6,500 words. Oxford Brookes University recommends the following structure and approximate word distribution for your Research Report. We believe that this will allow you to demonstrate all of the required technical and professional skills, and graduate skills in sufficient depth.
Since it is recommended, I suggest you stick to it. I dont know how strictly you must adhere to it, but it is reasserted in the last line, so I think it would be better to play it safe and sticking to the limit.I think I mentioned it in an earlier post that references are not to be included in the word count…nevertheless, here is something from the OBU infopack that might confirm that:
The 6,500 word limit excludes the Title Page, the Contents Page, the List of
References and the Appendices. Words used in tables and graphs and other forms of data presentation are not included in the word count. However, words used in section headings are included in the word count.
Hope this helped!
@gm2191: I didnt go through such a detailed process! I just enclosed the text I had picked off from some source in quotes, and put the url in footnotes. Nothing about accessed on. That would come in your bibliography. Not referencing within the report. You may put in the name of the article if you wish, esp if its in a book/newspaper and there are multiple articles floating around, and also if the website had multiple articles in the same link and you want to point to the right one. But no need to write accessed on…thats for the biblio.
Hope this helped!
Hello again:
I replied to a similar post, read it here:

About the presentation slides…I dont think there is a prescribed number, however, I had 23. This is including the starting slide.
Hi:
I dont really know… but to be honest, linear programming is not something to be bothered with too much in P4, there are many other complex things to focus on.
Good luck to you too.
There is a detailed example in kaplan on this. Nevertheless, you have to add issue costs. If you are assuming that 250k is NET of issue costs, it is 98% of the total debt you raise. What you actually raise is 250k * 100/98. Tax shield is then calculated on this amount.
@alyssa786: hi, could you rephrase your question? Im not quite sure what you are asking 🙁
Again, np 😉 addressing your questions:
Well, yes. What I did was paste the image url as the reference. Remember, anything that is not your own material, be it pictures, maps etc, provide a source. Why take a chance when everything else on your project is perfect? 🙂 I also referenced the tables I adapted from official documents and websites!
No no, references are not to be included in the word count. Nor are the titles, like – PART ONE: OVERALL OBJECTIVES AND RESEARCH APPROACH – this wouldnt be a part of the word count. However, subheadings are, so be careful to include those.
Ahhh, yes, that might be a bit problematic. I honestly have no idea 🙁 I suggest you ask your mentor or contact Oxford Brookes directly on acca@brookes.ac.uk. Although…there was something on the website that said that when you are submitting your project you are required to enter your mentor details. So its possible that they contact the mentor for verification. But, again, do inquire!
Hope this helped 🙂
Hey, no problem 🙂
Yeah, nothing to fret over then! Its normal to fret over it till the last minute, and after that. But if you did it carefully, then ignore the nervousness 🙂
Good luck!
There is no pass-fail in the professional ethics module. You just have to attempt it, before a specified date if you want to submit the project that semester
Hello:
Im not sure about the acceptable ratio, but if you referenced your work carefully, then you dont have a lot to worry about. There are no shortcuts for checking as far as I know. Just double check everything. And its not plagerism if you reference your work!
I made sure there wasnt any plagerism by referencing my work side by side. If you leave it to the end, there is a chance you forget whats your own work and what is someone elses!Good luck!
Hi:
I don’t think there is anything that can be done at this point. The exam changes were all over the ACCA website, including on the myACCA portal. Its a shame that you weren’t aware of this. If you cant pay the said amount, you should probably appear in lesser papers, or delay taking the papers to next session.
You might try contacting ACCA, but I don’t think that would be of any use, as the change has been communicated for quite some time now.
It is the value of an investment at the end of the period e.g.
Y1 70
Y2 45
Y3 80
WACC = 10%Terminal value would be the total value on Y3. So;
TV = Y1* (1.1)^2 + Y2*(1.1) + Y3 = 214.2
You essentially COMPOUND all the cashflows BEFORE the end of the period, and calculate their FUTURE VALUE. Since Y3 is essentially the current period, no need to compound it.
Hope this helped.
