    Well, I did put her as high interest and high power and therefore, a key player considering she has an overall responsibility in the project’s success, being a project sponsor, and this is crucial for the company she leads as a CEO. The implication on the project manager is that regular update on the status and progress of the project would be required in order to ensure a quick resolution of any issues i.e. budget constraints.

    This was also my line of thought too…hope it deserves some marks!!!

    Guys seriously, did you see the March/June 2017 Hybrid paper on the acca website? Number 1- 3 questions are from the March sitting, and only number 4 is from the June siting. This is not fair, they should have at least put 2 questions from each sitting..How then do we revise

    I agree with you…for those ones like me who didn’t choose Q2-Bonds question, will never see answer for even a single part attempted in June 2017.

    I do not understand your comment. March/June 2017 sample question has just been published. Please check the link I posted.

    I only sat for June 2017 exam and I noticed that only one question from June 2017 paper was featured in the sample March/June 2017 so the other three must be from March 2017 paper.

    No way they would take questions somewhere else and put them online as sample March/June 2017.

    I’m very sorry Duc…Thanks for the information…I didn’t understand this was already published…and actually I agree with everyone saying that is not fair to just have one question from the most recent sitting.

    Sample March/June 2017 questions have been posted on ACCA site: https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p4/past-exam-papers.html

    Only the bond question of June 2017 appeared. The other three were all March 2017.

    March 2017 questions are not published yet. So do not expect who sat in March 2017 to have memorized the questions there plus if you have failed in March 2017 where would you get the correct answers for March 2017. I’m pretty sure only the chapters covered were the same and this will be always like that but never the questions will be the same.

    It’s okay, man. 😉

    For the sales, what I remember is increase by 25% each years(y2-y4), but did not mention to be increase with inflation.

    What I did is y2 x 1.25 y3 x1.25^2 …
    Not sure I am right because it could be understand as x 1.25 every each with no square.

    This make my npv higher (exactly 777).

    y2 x 1.25 y3 x1.25^2 …This is the same approach I have folowed.

    I thought the question only mentioned first year R 800 m and then increased R 90m each year.

    Did the question mention the working capital is to increase according to sales?
    Anyone can confirm it?

    mentioned first year R 800 m and then increased by $90m for the next 3 years.

    I think the main problem is time pressure, given excessive amount of information in the scenario.

    We have to rush to finish on time and when we are in a rush, we tend to make mistakes or forget the details.

    If we were to have 4 or 5 hours to finish 3 questions, it would be easy to get 70-80 marks

    I agree with you Duc

    Hi John,

    Back to option part on this Q1, why the question presents an adjusted figure for the initial investment ($2.500 vs $2.434-PV for 2 years) for the NPV purposes?. Shouldn’t be the PV of initial investment equal to $2.500??

    Q4a) – Furlion Co: the figure for initial investment ($15m) for the expansion option was not adjusted to PV for 3 years!!!

    I’m getting confused as I can’t see what is different in these two question papers for the same matter (option to expand). Please help me.
