    I think the paper was pretty reasonable, however pretty damn time pressured.

    I think you’re confusing real options with the derivatives (transaction options).
    We use BSOP model to calculated the value of real option, and it doesn’t have anything with the contracts. If you wanna calculate the number of contracts, you’ll need to identify (a) what is the amount you need to buy or sell and (b) what is the value of the contract on the derivatives market.

    How do you mean by doing 4 -5 days? Are you referring to the numbers of days you study in a week?

    I agree that hedging is the most complicated part of the course. I have some time reserved for note taking, and hopefully complete 2 exam papers.

    In total, 4-5 days, max 6 should be enough.

    In the question
    [.. from which Imoni Co would currently earn a pre-tax contribution of $40 for each component unit. However, Imoni Co feels that it can negotiate with Government to increase the transfer price to $280 per component unit.]

    1.Parts sold from Imoni Co to Yilandwe at a cost of $200, and thus earning $40 contribution. In this sense, cost relates to Yilandwe company, but for Imoni Co it’s a selling price, meaning that the CoS for this uni at Imoni co is $160.
    2.If the sales price increases from $200 to $280, but the cost of sales per unit of Imoni Co stays the same at the level of $160, then the contribution is $120.
    3.Answer: $120 (contribution per uni) * inflation rate * nr of units = 18,540.

    Hope this helps.

    I think that 200 hours it a bit too much. I’m doing 4-5 days, shouldn’t take longer.

    With regards to your approach, i would spend max one day for study and then move straight to question practice, don’t worry if there is a topic that you didn’t study in detail, it’s all logic (obviously apart from FX and IR hedging, it’s a a bit of a pain for me). So, i would recommend you to stick to questions practice, in particular writing down, not just analysis.

    Hi all! Is this real that someone is sending through the tips or people are just naive?

    I can’t remember anything coming up in Dec’15, neither in Mar’16; thus can assume there is a good chance for this to appear in June.
    btw: there is a good technical article on ACCA web
