Also, if the discounted CF question doesnt mention about the Capital Maintenance charges, do we continue to add back the depreciation after deducting the tax or are we to assume that an amount equivalent to dep. charge will be the capital maintenance charge and hence don’t add it back?
Thanks John. But as this is a redeemable debt, shouldnt we be using the IRR method to determine the cost of debt to the company and not just multiply it with 1-T?
It is just simply sad. I too had to withdraw. All the sleepless night & efforts are in vain. Have to go through it all over…
Hi. I had the same issue as well. Apparently there system in India could not handle the traffic!
I was meant to take the AFM exam at 2:30pm IST today. Despite trying to launch the exam at 2:00pm, I have had no luck. I was being put in que (over 350+ position) for my exam to launch. And once it was my turn, I would get a message saying there was a connection issue and would put me back again in the queue.
After trying for nearly 2 hours, I finally had a pop-up message from the invigilator saying there was an issue with the webcam and that I must re-launch the OnVue app. I spoke to the tech support team as well (4 times on and that too on an international call). The team said, “there is a “technically issue” in India as they have lots of students trying to login and there is also congestion due to heavy rains. I should keep trying until the exam ends. And if the problem persists, I have no option but to withdraw from the exam and re-schedule for the next session, which would be 3 months later”. Accordingly I kept trying to launch the exam for the entire 3:20 window but unfortunately had no luck. I did connect with numerous other students from India who had the same issue.
My point being, ACCA has been hosting remote sessions for nearly a year now. It is so not right to say that there are technical issues due to heavy traffic. I mean, considering ACCA is such an esteemed and professional body, I would have expected them to have a certain level of planning and contingency plans. You already knew the number of students planning to take the exams, you accordingly should have upgraded your systems and the network!
Simply stating that the student must reschedule an exam for the next session which will be conducted 3 months later is just not right. As such exams are quite challenging, having to go through sleepless nights and preparing all over is nothing less than mentally exhausting and much severe pain. I simply am not ready to go through the cycle all over and reschedule to the next session. And even if I agree to re-schedule, what guarantee do I have that such “technical issues” will not be repeated. I mean, at the very least you can allow candidates to re-book the exam within a day’s time or a week. Preparing all over is no joke and I certainly am not up for it.
It is such a shame that I am unable to re-book the exam now. I also fear that if I have to re-book the exam 3 months later, the issue may persist and again I may end up with the same issue. Also it goes without saying that it greatly impacts my career planning. I just wish you could have allowed students to re-book an exam within a day or week in case of such issues, instead of putting in pain to prepare all over. This is such a setback and a major disappointment. I always took pride in being an ACCA student but unfortunately this incident has truly exhausted and mentally traumatized me.

Excuse my ignorance, but if the full amount of interest and the principal is same as half our money in the above context, then what is the remaining half of the money?
Dear Tutor,
Similarly, in case of gain/loss on translation of overseas subsidiary, we will have to use Goodwill net off impairment in the profoma, right?
Hi,
Then will the video be recorded any time soon? I intend to underatke exam in Mar’18. I tried to go through the notes as well look around at other resources for explaination on this particular topic, but I still am having trouble. Hence, looking forward for opentuition’s video on it as your explainations tend to be quite simple and precisely to the point.
Thanks
My apologies. I went through the lecture note and video tutorial once again and understood the concept now. So kindly do ignore this question.
Thanks.
Yes I meant depreciating asset. Do consider my apologies for consistently asking such questions. I have always been a curious student and my point of enrolling for ACCA was not just to pass the exam but rather gain a clear understanding. I understand that such questions on a frequent basis may annoy you and may also lead to over burden of information in my head. I appreciate your wise advise.
Thanks.You mean it should have been employee contribution to the occupational scheme isn’t it? Sorry it was my mistake.
Thank you.
Now in regards with the full relief provided to the employee for their contribution to the pension scheme, it is limited to the higher of:-
3600 pounds Gross contribution, and
The relevant earning for the tax year.But, what if the gross contribution made by the employee is higher than the above limit?
Will the excess amount above the limit be taxed as normal or are there any additional implications of it?
