Passed with 50%, answered 3 questions correctly and only relied on open tuition and the study text. All is good.

For f5 in Kaplan text book I found it very hard to get a grip of the principles working behind the rules as they mostly give you the answers and expect you to understand yourself which I found very time consuming. I found the video letures on open tuition lot more helpful than Kaplan text book plus the examiner’s articles. I have used Kaplan till F4 but it was disappointing in F5. In my F5 exam I manged to do 4 questions and hoping to pass.

for a demand of 350000 bags n in good weather condition. sales will be (9 -4)* 87500 ( less the unsold portion multiplied by 0.50.) did i miss anything

I did the same way and you know it took me ages and cost me the time of 1 full question. But I did full 4 questions.

The question about the Air Conditioning company, I think I got:

P = 750 – 0.0015Q

My mind went blank with learning curves, but I got 1.06…ish hours from the equation. I’m not sure this is right though, as that would be the cumulative time instead of the actual time for the 100th unit. Although, even if I get it wrong I should still be able to get marks for the next bit?

Using the adjusted labour time I got the marginal cost to be about $50.54 ish and put that into the demand equation to get something like a selling price of $400.

Finally I after talking about the pricing strategies I recommended that the company use skimming as their patent prevented any competition for 2 years, and they should use a higher price to recoup the R&D costs and emphasise to customers how much more efficient their product is.

I meant demand in profit table? Cheers

I had the three different production levels on the right hand side (350,000 bags, 280,000 bags and 200,000 bags), and the three different weather conditions along the top.

The contribution per bag was $5. Depending on the amount produced and the weather, I basically did (Production x $5) – (Difference between Production and Demand x $0.50), as if they weren’t sold it cost $0.50 to be scrapped.

That’s what I put, I hope it is right as I’d like the 8 marks!

Hi,

How did you work out demand? Based on probabilities?

[nomipk3]

I did 4 full questions, left the flexed budget one as I had spent too much time on Q1 setting up the profit table. Can any body share how they worked out the profit table? I really enjoyed doing Q2, 4, and 5. I am hoping for a pass at least.
