when u complete f2 and 3 then,unless u still have f1 pending or u are
exemted from it,then the next one would be f4 5 and 6 or 7 depending on
how many u do wish to take at any one given sitting…hope that helpshi ansi,r u on bpp,kaplan,ot notes or all of them,because i have not come
across this question in the bpp txt that i use……anyway it does not matter
but i agree with chelsey,the question had more irrelevant info than relevant
ones like what john pointed out,admin costs were irrelevant,so was the salary
to the storeman,but if i was doing this in an exam,then it would be a straight
guess for me no doubt,after all we have quite more stuff to cover in the
syllabus…but if this question has appeared before in the past then it is
worth taking some time to really understand how it is donehi,i think u are right more than 100%,problem is the bpp study txt
does not think so…….either it is a typing error or i don’t know what
is happeninghi there
i assume u know what the eoq formula is….in this question,u r being asked
for the value of h which i believe is the cost of handling….a mathematical
approach to this sort of question would be one way of solving the problem,
that’s my opinion,maybe others have a different way of going on about it
so that means that u would have to start off by determing what the eoq is in
the first place,wouldn’t u?once u have done that task,then it’s just a matter
of solving for the unknown,which is the cost of handling,which is h and then
that would lead to some joy i believe,i haven’t tried it,but that is the way
i would do ithi there,i am in the same boat,like u getting ready for a cbe take
in june,have u tried the acca website,they have got a cbe demo that u
could try out….www.accaglobal.com,only problem,it’s only one demo that
they have on there but it does help alothi guys,i am using the bpp txt at the moment,when it comes to the high-low calculations with step up in fixed costs,the examples are so straight forward…but the thing is they do not have any examples where we are given a set of more than two levels of activity ie like in ansi’s problem three levels of activity…..unless i am looking at a different book!my question is,when u are given more than two levels of activity like in this instance,would it be correct to ignore the level that is in this case 4000 units at the cost of $40800 and proceed with the other two levels because they are in excess of 5000 units,in otherwords is this a trick that the examiner can put forward to us the students,because like i said i use the bpp manual and all the examples i have worked through are straight forward with only two levels of activity and that’s it and it’s maybe not surprising to see why fahmy got that answer,because i don’t think he missed seeing the step up in fixed cost at ten percent,more likely than ever i think he has never really dealt with more than two activity levels being put into a problem question…….any advice?
