Thought it went ok. Results will tell. I know I’ve 100% lost 3 marks though which I’m kicking myself for. Glad I tried hard to remember admin dates!
@sokkit I had those exact questions too. The bags and travel company
@acca9898 i didn’t get that question in my PM exam sorry
@naresa it was something like should the contract be accepted and discuss. Something along the lines of that. Never got to complete part b of the relevant costing
For the relevant costing in section C, did anyone else put 0 for skilled labour as there was spare capacity, and 0 for the supervisor as I figured they were considered fixed costs?
Question 15 in the mock exam is bugged. I wrote the correct answer 2667 and the model answer says this is the correct answer but it was marked wrong. Also in the model answer for question 10 they used 360 instead of 365 for working the inventory period backwards, despite the approved material showing you should always use 365 as multiplier for the inventory turnover period.
Agreed Dhruvisha. Whoever came up with these exam questions clearly wanted to make us suffer haha
Yes Kiran, agree everything you said. Seems we did the same paper. I got travel company and relevant costing in section C. I think I did better in relevant costing than in the travel company question. Was so lost in the travel company and spent an hour on it. Was making good time before that haha. Had no idea what they wanted me to do for the travel company. I’m tempted to raise a formal complaint about that currency rate, if it’s not in the syllabus and the practice platform seems unreasonable for them to expect us to know how to deal with this. I usually perform well in section A and B in all my practice papers, but section A was so much more difficult than any of the practice questions. I pray you pass too and all of us too!
That exam was just evil :’)
Section B was ok. Some of the section A questions were surprisingly tougher than all of the practice questions I’ve done before, including the ones on the ACCA practice platform.
One of the sections C style questions was very nasty. Had to do with currency rate changes between different counties for a travel company. I’ve never had anything like this in any practice questions. Felt so unfair as it’s not in the syllabus on how to deal with exchange rates or currency rate changes. Absolutely evil ? Resit here I come!Anyone else get this C style question?
