I had a financial analysis question for Sansa stores in section C and then an optimum production plan for a Steel company, with a make or buy too.
I think section A and B seemed ok but also not sure I go enough correct. Honestly I’m not sure. Fingers crossed x
Hi, I hope you don’t mind me piggy backing off this question.
I just did the mock exam and I am really confused as to how the answer is worked out for this one. How was the time worked out? Where did 0.4 come from in the answer?
Thank you.
I have realised where I was going wrong and understand it now – I was using the sales price and the cost of making price the wrong way around. This can be closed 🙂
Failed second time 41%. Thought I had done enough in this exam so I’m disappointed. I think section A and B let me down. Looking forward to seeing the feedback. Fingers crossed for September!
I know I got my overall ROI wrong, I couldn’t get the operating profit low enough. Do you know if we get some marks for workings even if our overall ROI was wrong? 🙁
For section B I got learning rate questions for a boat company, then optimum production for cups plates and bowls, then another question about ABC costing for doctors and nurses, for that one i just guessed as i wanted to come back to it later but didnt have time unfortunately.
I also sat a remote exam.
Can anyone who had the ROI question explain how you dealt with the gross and net profit “notes” ie contracts and marketing I wasn’t sure what to do. Thanks
I felt it was alright but I’m not sure if I’ve done enough. I rushed through section B because I wanted to get on with section C and hoped I would have had time to come back.
For section C I got ROI / performance analysis for the division M (mining) and division F (farming) and then q32 was a table for for airplane engine development price table for total cost, revenue marginal etc. I ran out of time overall but I’m hoping I got a pass! Fingers crossed!
Thanks, I understand the payoff table workings it just the TOTAL of “Expected value (EV) of profit”
I just don’t understand where those totals came from of 70,110, 78,385 and 77,545, have they used the probabilities or have they used an average? – Either way I just can’t get it to those amounts.
Hi, thanks I did read that article before posting my question. I still don’t understand how the “EVs of profit” have been worked out in the payoff table, could you help me please?
I also struggled with finding 8 risks, I could only find 6. Section A was tricky too! Can anyone remind me what Question 3 was (the calculation one)?
It’s really hard to know if what you’re writing is correct!
Such a hard section C!! Transfer pricing and Optimal production plan, definitely a re-sit for me!
Hi Sir, could you help me understand how the current cost price is $31.30 please?
Thanks for letting me know! I have just booked too. I am sitting PM, what exam are you sitting for?
I am having the same issue – it keeps taking me back to the “your plan” page. I am worried I won’t be able to book in time too…
I just called them and they have an automated message saying “we are sorry for the issue with Study hub and exam planner and this is under investigation, our advise is to try again later” and there was no one available to talk to.
I will keep checking back on the website and let you know if it works.
Failed with 49%, so frustrating being 1 mark away!! Torn on re-sitting in March or not, as I am preparing for PM, not sure if sitting two at once is too much as I work full-time and prefer to give each exam my full attention.
I’m waiting for Audit results. Genuinely no idea if I’ve passed but fingers crossed for all of us!! Midnight feels like a long time away…
I had that wages question too. I just guessed and was planning on coming back to it but didn’t have time, hope I I guessed correctly 😀
Not sure how it went.. Hopefully enough to pass!! I ran out of time towards the end, I was just trying to write as many points as I could for the substantive procedures questions. Was focussing on the auditor risks / responses and the control deficiencies. Hoping I passed enough in section A too. Last exam of the year done 🙂
Hi, I am planning to sit the exam in Dec 23 too. I started yesterday. My plan is to get through the BPP workbook in 3 weeks along with open tuition lectures, and then that leaves 4 weeks of revision. There are 20 chapters so just think of it as one chapter a day, or if you have more time or a miss a day then two a day.
I have the BPP revision kit so I will be looking at that alongside the studying but I will mainly focus on that once I have finished the chapters. I’m hoping I’m not being too ambitious too but generally if I have at least 4 weeks revision I’m hoping I’ll be okay!
And if you work / are familiar with audit at least you are aware of what may be required.
Good luck 🙂
