    Tutor, I have studied that standard of care also depends on experience/expertise of the person. If he/she has more expertise so more standard of care is assumed from them.
    So why that is not the case here? Wouldn’t it be unfair?
    However, I am totally satisfied from your point but still want to clear this last doubt.

    Yes tutor. Please help me one another question
    John, a learner driver, was taking lessons from friend, Steve. Before agreeing to be John’s instructor, Steve checked that John’s insurance covered him as a passenger. On one of the lessons John drove negligently and injured Steve.
    What is John’s duty of care in this case?

    The same standard as a reasonable qualfied competent driver
    That of any unqualified learner driver
    That which might reasonably be expected of a similarly inexperienced driver
    He has no duty of care as the defence of volenti non fit injuria applies

    Answer is A. I did C

    Yes. I try to watch if I am unclear because I am short of time. Otherwise your lectures are best.
    Thank you for your answer.

    I do not think so that we were able to find Shares. We were only given equity and amount to get from Finance. We were not given TERP or issue price to find shares after issue. Do you remember how you found number of shares through right issue?

    I did an Mcq which has an statement “Working Capital should increase as sales increases”.
    I am unable to figure relationship between sales and working capital. Increase in credit sales might need working Capital but if these are cash sales so I don’t think it will affect working capital.

    If we use other’s experience so we will start from Reflective Observation always? I mean to say that we could have started from Abstract conceptualization or Actual Experimentation.

    Question two
    In Sales Variance, we compare Actual and Fixed Budget.
    In Cost Variances, we compare Actual and Flexed Budget.
    Are these correct?

    Question three:
    Flexed budget and Flexible is made under marginal costing? This is why fixed cost is same as budgeted?

    Every service organisation use service costing? Like an accountancy firm which works on request of client will work on Job costing?

    Question 1:
    I also read that store’s clerk making good received note so why are we here considering that all GRNs are made by Good Inwards.

    Question 2:
    Please explain this cost reduction might reduce cost in short term but increase in long term.

    Question 3:
    Can you please tell which organisation use service costing and which do not? It is confusing like it is upto organisation like they can consider each unit as job costing? This is upto their discretion?
    Secondly, you said that private hospital might use service costing but public hospital might not? Can you please tell why?

    Sorry for abundance of questions!

    First question- Understood! A lot of thanks.
    Second Question
    He is saying that it “should”. It is necessary to incorporate uncertainity? I mean that decision can be certain while future related as you said forecast based decision can be uncertain.

    Hello Ken,
    Chapter Five in BPP study text for MA2 (Information for Comparison)
    We are comparing forecast and budget with actual data in the very start of chapter. I want to know what is use of comparing two things which are interrelated.
    I couldn’t attach screenshot, otherwise would have highlighted.
