CONGRATULATIONS to all who have passed this paper!!! We all know how tough it is and I am relieved to have made it too.
Don’t lose heart study buddies that have not passed this time. I know how you feel since I have been there too. Next time around you will make it. It’s a combination of things that worked for me and I just wanted to share it with you so that you too can be successful.
Once you have gone through the material, make it your mission to GET ENOUGH PRACTICE WITH PAST EXAM QUESTIONS. This helps a great deal. Also have a re-think about the way you answer the paper. More often than not we all want to answer in the order given, but try a new strategy. Start with the ones you do know and be absolutely strict with yourself on time. If you get stuck, move on. I learnt from the first time I didn’t get through and could have kicked myself then when I couldn’t complete because I ran out of time. But I learnt the hard way and revised my strategy. Sometimes that’s all we need to do. You may know your stuff inside out, but doesn’t amount to anything if you can’t even complete the paper. TIME MANAGEMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! Also knowing when to move on from things that are making you stuck.
And last but not least, heed all tips especially on how to structure answers and how much you should be writing per mark, headings, paragraphs and having some form of structure to answers. If you put it into practise when going through question practice, it will be like second nature by the time the exams roll around!BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS!!!!
AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OPENTUITION! I could not have done it without you!!!
Question 2 …found this on the net…
“Mezzanine debt is a type of borrowing by a public company in which the lender has a particularly low claim on the company’s assets in the event that it goes into liquidation before the debt is settled. In this situation, the lender’s claim will be of a lower priority to all other creditors except for holders of common stock. As a result, this type of debt tends to carry higher costs for the lender than other types of borrowing.”
try video links to chapters 19 and 20 of F9…there’s some info there on Capm and betas
