    I have 50% passed this unit 8 analysing strategic options quiz, namely Q2, Q4 and Q5, so I will be doing guides on these 3

    for Q2,

    After MEXIT the exchange rate value of $M fell from $C1.40 to the current rate of $C1.12. This has meant that the material imports from CETA have become significantly more expensive. The translated cost of these imported materials from CETA in the current P/L account is $M’1,100,000. The purchasing team have identified an alternative domestic supplier source for all of the imported materials from CETA, who will charge Telford Engineering the same amount as it originally cost the company to import these materials at the pre-MEXIT exchange rate. Calculate the effect on net profit (to the nearest $M’000).

    for this question, current cost is SM’1,100k

    original cost is current cost * (current rate/original rate)

    answers aka EFFECT ON NET PROFIT is based on difference between CURRENT COST and ORIGINAL COST

    Q4 = only calculate 60% of staff cost under PRODUCTION COST (the rest can just remain as it is)

    Q5 = sales * 1.1, material costs = 30% of sales (the rest can just remain as it is)

    btw, I have trouble with Q3:

    Non-core functions in the General Administration department can be outsourced, saving 20% of the staff costs and other costs, included immediately below under the general admin heading, as stated in the current P/L account. Calculate the effect on net profit (to the nearest $M’000).

    For your info, under general admin heading has staff, other, accounting, and finance costs; idk what are the non-core functions

    Ps: regarding Q2, 4 and 5, I believe I have made QUITE a detailed guide on those questions cuz they took like an hour for me because I have to experiment on the P&L before AND after MEXIT

    I need help for EPSM Unit 7 Q1 and Q2

    Q1:
    basically I have read the relevant posts on the question, and then I used the formula =(-63965)+235*150+0*15000+1*30000+11779*3

    idk whether my equation is correct because I always ended up 25% (I knew the Q3 answer so I only got that right)

    Q2:

    I refer to @Jara ‘s post for the solution

    so for the first answer, my equation is =(-63965)+235*150+0*15000+1*250000+11779*3

    for the second answer, =(-63965)+235*150+0*15000+1*1+11779*3

    and then the answer I got is incorrect according to the 25%
