    Yes there were a few tricky ones in there but on the whole I felt I did pretty well. But as you say – you never know! Hope you achieve the result you’re after 😀

    Thanks! Let’s hope we will pass 🙂

    I have exactly the same exam, martindeo.
    Managed to answer all the questions ahead of time, but you can never know with ACCA :).
    Some questions in section A and B were rather difficult for me, but I enjoyed section C (except the part with assets qualifying for capital allowances).
    Hope for comfortable pass.

    Exam was OK. Section C: first question about ratios and comments on performance of the Rey Co, second question – consolidated profit or loss statement with mid-year acquisition and some tricky adjustments, but nothing impossible.
    Section A and B were manageable too. Hoping for a comfortable pass (not very high, though).

    Questions were OK, nothing surprising.
    But it was challenging just to write the answers. 3 hours are not enough for nice, long answers.
    I somehow managed to answer all questions, but haven’t time to reread them.

    I think it is possible. because I have just did it.
    It was hard, though.
    Good luck!

    how to pass like that in one month? what method and what exam kit did you use?

    I am currently studying f4 but im practically finished, i am contemplating whether or not to enter myself for the f5 exam in june or to wait till september…

    I used Kaplan Text Book and Revision Kit.
    Full-time working, so was using every weekend to study (at least 12 hours), plus studied for 2-3 hours on evenings.

    Passed with 65.
    Was preparing just for one month, instead of recommended four.
    Now will concentrate on June FR.

    Im also attempting AA with FM for the June Attempt. These will also be my last F-level exams, then onto the OBU degree and the professional exams.

    I am planning to attempt FM and AA for the September attempt.
    Is it very tricky to learn for both papers?

    I am slightly confused – I had absolutely different questions in C section. The first one was about optimum production plan, the second – about RI and ROI.
    Variances were tested in B section in my exam variant.

    No learning effect or risk were tested in exam.

    I got the same question. I could not do the optimim production plan question. Too complicated, the time for the exam is not enough. Not one question on performance management, risk, learning effect.

    I somehow managed to answer the first part of this question. Not sure, that my answer is correct, though.

    I had the optimum production plan too, couldn’t really decide what the minimum penalty was. In part (a) was the constraint machine hours?

    Yes, the constraint was machine time.

    One question was about variances (for two different TV) – so had to calculate sales mix variance.
    One more question was about target costing. Rather tricky, I should admit (and I was sure, that target costing is the area I know almost perfectly).

    What were your Part B scenarios? I remember one about badmintons & racquets and one about cakes but can’t recall the third one.

    I had scenario about racqets.
    Didn’t like it 🙂

    Petya,

    I had used the same approach – firstly calculated ROI and RI for existing situation without any adjustments.
    After that I’ve calculated controllable profit and capital employed for each proposal following with RI and ROI.
    At the end I’ve realised that I have completely forgotton about cash, so made no adjustments for it.
    I think that you were right about excluding cash flow from buying the machine.

    Hi ceriset
    … first question do you mean about the coal price and usage variations?
    I did only the a part of it with the variations. I really don’t remember the figures but I checked the sum of all four variations gave me the total material variation, which is the difference between the total budget cost of coals-12000 and actual cost-15thousand and something can’t remember.

    Petya,

    my first question was about optimum production plan to maximise contribution.

    I had same question about ROI and RI with two proposals.
    It was annoying how at the right hand site of the screen I had available a word pad instead of excel spreadsheet.
    So I lost so much time to write calculations on Word.
    I’m totally disappointed of the CBE format. I didn’t expect it would be that elementary.
    They could give a spreadsheet next to every question for calculating instead of using calculators.

    I completely agree with you!
    I was really annoyed with wordpad instead of Excel!
    Had to doublecheck all calculations.

    Have you completed the first question?

    @mrfukamachi said:
    I had the exact same section C question. I only attempted RI and ROI question, didn’t have time to attempt the optimum production plan question.

    what were your ROI calculations on process 1 and 2
    mine were 19.something and 25 % for process 2

    I think i wasn’t able to completely give the strength and weaknessess of using RI for divisional performance but did give it a try

    Yes, I had the same calculations – only Proposal 2 ROI was above target ROI, although it had smaller RI if comparing with the Proposal 1.
    I wrote only two advantages and two weaknesses of RI, not sure it will be enough.

    I’ve attempted first question as well and managed to calculate optimum plan, but couldn”t understand how to calculate minimum penalty.

    Did you have one question about sales variances in B section? I was rather confused with it.

    It looks like I was the only one with different C section questions :).

    1) RI and ROI impact on divisional manager’s decision
    2) Optimum production plan calculation with scarce resource.

    Anyone else here with the same variant?
