As for me it was on the opposite). Base case NPV was positive and tax shield and subsidy effect were about the same amount as base case NPV. But I translated tax shield and subsidy effect at average rate) Also not sure( It would be great to have a text of the question to check but …
I’ll try) On the whole: Number 1: APV for international project (translation from its currency and etc.) Maybe a little unusual because cost of capital was given, APV to guess. Number 2: a) classical interest rate risk (forward, futures, options), to calculate net costs of borrowing and effective interest for each. Number 3: M&A: calculate gearing and EP for three options of payment (by shares, by cash, by shares 60% and by cash 40%)
You have reason, and it’s great that we discuss it here. But now I really don’t know how it was necessary to solve, from the currency of contract size or from the logic of the situation itself), I remember that I use the rate to get the least amount after change euros into dollars. It’s a pity that we don’t have the question text, it could have helped. Hope that the examiner will crarify it in his report, think that the examples of the providers can’t be 100% relevant. There is no long to wait, 18 January, hope for best for everybody
Hi guys, you aren’t annoying us, we also were taking this exam and we’re very interested what it was all about. Considering that even having the text of the exam question it is not crystal clear what was necessary to do) of course it’s more difficult if you don’t have the question text but in any way there should be the same logic behind forex risk questions. As for me I used call, the logic: we will need dollars in some time, so you’ll buy them now. It’s interesting, I remembered it and it was rather simple before this question, you look in what currency contract size and think what they will do with this currency, somehow in this question contract size is in “opposite” currency, which was rather uncomfortable).
Still, goodluck to everybody!They are OK. Write to them, they answer really in full. As for me, I got all the information from them but decided to come back to my RAP after taking my last ACCA exam in June) money, time and the other issues) my issues… Good luck!
I really have not standard situation, already two fails two-three years ago. I understand that my chances 50/50) As far as I understood there was possibility to “personalized, one-to-one attention” and “customised packages”. I wrote about this at contact us https://www.learningluminarium.com/ . The answer was too business like, take our the most expensive package and if you intend to complete your mentorship by February 28, we are able to offer an additional 15 percent discount. Could you please provide the information how it is possible to get so called customised package or all the information above is rather sophisticated marketing. Thanks a lot in advance for the answer!
It was my third attempt, still can’t understand what’s wrong, of course if it wasn’t the last exam I would give up. The most important is attitude to acca, it changed completely after P4, before It was positive and etc. but now everything doesn’t have any sense, only to go every time to see how someone is making fool of you. For example I understood today morning that I can’t do it physically and that’s all, what to do next I don’t know
Thank you so much for your post, I’m going to work and to tell the truth I’m very scared because of yesterday’s threats.
On the other hand to be ethical is good for a company, its future and of course it’s bad for the managers’ bonuses, which are only for a whileFor me I decided that ethics first. Why to have all these exams passed without being ethical?
bassaniobroke your example is great but !!!! we need these for three periods, not only for the last one, also there’s no explanation how they calculated it and there’s no explanation about their methodology of choice of the companies to calculate averages Still, is it possible to get it somehow?
Please add me too, sablina-n1@yandex.ru
Kitcat thank you very much for your answers.
For the others: stop asking for RAP, simply start doing it. If you have questions you can ask them in this topic. People really help. I have two fails but still hope to pass.Cheers
Thank you very much for your answer, I really understand what “statements of fact” means but my situation is a little different, i.e. I often used the information from the site of the company and gave (https://www.sothebys.com, 2012), there is no author, what to do if there is no author?
The graphs and charts are from the financial statements from the company’s site, how technically to reference them?
Please, help who passed, I really will appreciate your help. I don’t need any RAP I only want to understand referencing. Answer here, please, I can see only your nick.Thank in advance!
I have only one attempt left and I still can’t understand how to make referencing, I have in the marker’s comments about it:
“Make sure that your work is thoroughly and systematically referenced. There are many statements of fact that are unreferenced, and where statements are opinion are unreferenced I cannot tell if it is your opinion or someone else’s. Where you do reference you do not use the Harvard system, which is a project requirement. It is incorrect to include the web address in the text as a reference: the Harvard system uses only AUTHOR (DATE). All of your charts and graphs are unreferenced.”
I’m shocked because I thought that I referenced them, for example:
The other two companies of the Peer Group, Nordstrom, Inc. (6,5% (2011), 6,6% (2010), 5,3% (2009) and Tiffany & Co. (12,1%, 11,9%, 9, 8% respectively) showed stable levels of net profit margin (Appendix C) and then a chart or a graph. Is it necessary to write anything in a chart or a graph themselves? But what? They are from Appendices.
How to reference charts and graphs, and what to do if the information is from the internet site? Please, help me, I really will appreciate your help.
Thank in advance!
You are a hero. I simply decided to wait for the answers. Rather funny exam, you have your textbooks, your notebook with the Internet nearby and still no any possibility to get through having the three hours.
It’s absolute truth. It’s a lottery. I know a lot of people who left ACCA because they think it’s unfair. We shouldn’t know how football business works, they think football agents are taking ACCA exams. We don’t want to play these games, we need real testing of our knowledge.
It was ridiculous, because we couldn’t understand the questions. I’m very happy that our examiner likes football but as for me I’m dummy at football and didn’t understand the question 4 at all, there were other questions like about football (pension plan, strange numbers of goodwill impairment at the reporting date and etc.)
