Dear Kim, thanks for reply. 20% increase will be applied to the 2 Fully Qualified (FQ) Accountants and one Part Qualified (PQ) Accountant only
I can not get the rigth answer still. For outsourcing option:
1. 292K outsourcing
2. One off cost 140K (staff redundancy)
3. 40% saving of other costs 240K – 144K cost
In total it makes 790K cost for next yearWhere is the mistake?
I am also finallyan affiliate. OpenTuition lectures were very important in my studies. Thank you so much to all the lecturers and staff for the support!!!
One question. Is there any chance of ACCA informing my manager about my achievement? Last time when I was top scorer, they asked me to provide an address and name to inform about it.
Could you please provide your approach to the questions below?
1. What should company consider while selecting SWAP instead of Collar?
2. Discussing the managements decision on soft capital rationing.
3. I guess forecasted futures price should’ve been calculated using September basis (2%) selected 4-7 I guess?
Thanks for your replies.
MCQ1 – share issue- I choose unmodified but adding Emphasis of matter. is that correct?
MCQ2 – another question about independence i chose Tricia only. Anyone rememeber?Some answers. Can you please say smth if u remember?
1. I chose the sales managers should inform production manager, they should inform in 24 hours the customers about the possibility or smth like this
2. Gearing-second one have both gearing ratios higher?
3. Waiting hour per patient shows the performance…Look at an example of “Multi-product P/V chart”. I think this chart was the chart on MSQ-2. It should be the profit line
what about ROI and RI? I think both will give favour to older division as 1. ROI will be lower for the newest division 2. RI for new one will be lower (because of the higher percentage of interest-as the asset is new for the newer division)
MSQs
1. Maturity cycle (variable cost per unit is lowest)
2. Profit line
3. $300 Favorable (mix variance)Did you also choose same?
Hi. I am just starting to study F8, and I would like to know whether it is enough to watch the opentuition lectures and cover past papers in order to pass the exam?

ThanksAnybody knows exact figures – should have been added to ROI calculations of Divisions?
ROI questions:
1. Capital employed. Did you add Head office non-current assets to the Division’s non current? And plus working capital to get capital employed?
2. Profit figure in ROI. For the investment center division, is it preferred to add Head office costs to the income statement of the division in order to measure the divisions operations?
Thanks for your answer. I have 2 more questions.
1.As I know, If a division is an investment center, we must add the non-current asset under control of Head office too, i order to calculate the ROI figure. In the exam there was a question to add it or not. There were non-current assets for both the division and head office control, payable, receivable… Is it correct to do lie this in order to calculate the capital employed? Non-current assets (including under head office control) plus working capital.
2. Profit figure in ROI. For the investment center division, is it preferred to add Head office costs to the income statement of the division in order to measure the divisions operations?
Thank you
Rolling Budget. In study text of BPP the rolling budget example was a bit unclear. Increased percentage has been added to the same period together with the actual one. Then they added percentage increases.
Can you please show how a simple rolling budget should be done?Budget example: Q1: Revenue – 1000 ; Q2 Revenue – 2000 .
But in Q1 the actual revenue was 1005. Calculate the next 2 Quarters’ Budget?
Thanks@msarosh said:
Yes the question did say that the minimum demand for cupcakes, brownies and muffins must be met. They had given us the minimum and maximum demand for each of themHowever, the question mentioned that “in order to maximize the profit” or smth like that, so we had to rise the limits to the maximum (my opinion).
Anybody made sure which bottleneck it was ? mixing, weighing or what?
1.Which problems could arise applying Rolling budget?
2.Which problems for ROI calculation?I think it is insensitive too. What about the mixing or baking… which one is bottleneck?

Hey, I posted my answers to these. I got:1.Optimal plan was the option with 0 muffins that can’t be made and i think 120 brownies.
2. Marathon optimal plan I got the same as Msarosh option A with 17540 and 20000
3. I picked the option that EV is sensitive to probability assumptions (in my opinion) and it that it also doesn’t show all outcomes. It depends precisely on assumptions about probabilities, how low or high it is at each decision point to get to the EV for a decision in the first place..so assumptions about the probabilities would affect it (in my opinion).
4. ZBB – You are right, it doesn’t build up from previous inefficiencies. I can’t remember the other options now but it’s definitely doesn’t build up from inefficiencies.What did everyone else put for the joint production profit/loss for product X? after the cut off point?
And throughput ratio – how to improve TPAR to do with products Y and Z?
To improve TRAP- first one was accepting discount…
Was baking or mixing bottleneck?
What about life cycle cost per unit? do you remember?
Also investigation cost for the activity…
