you got the update confirmation email because you went “forgot password” and changed your password…
I’m not a finalist. I can log in as normal, just can’t see the exam results page. I can view my exam entry…
I thought this was a very fair paper:
Q1
a) Internal Growth, Acquisition, Strategic Alliance – i wrote a bit about each one and the advantages and disadvantages linked back to the scenario
b) SFA Test – did in report format. Intro, S,F,A Conclusion
c) Porter’s Diamond – wrote about the model and tried to link it back to the scenarioQ2
a)Explain the Regression and Time Series Analysis, and evaluate – I had seen this in a past paper. Didn’t know much on regression so wrote the basics, what it was, and the advantages and disadvantages. Time series, I pretty much copied the answer work for word for the past paper about how they did the process, and advantages and disadvantages
b)How a formal budget process would help – blagged this, think i made 4-5 points on why it would be a good idea!Q3 (was running out of time when i got to this)
a)Explain why they are losing money and what immediate – ST changes could be made – for some reason i started doing porters 5 forces, then just when through the problems in the scenario and made a few ST suggestions
b)Suggest long term marketing strategies -10 mins to go just bullet pointed thisReally not sure how well I’ve done but happy i could answer all the questions! Just worried about my handwriting!!!
i thought the exam was fair…
Q1 – I included fixed costs, and inflated the cashflows and used the nominal rate.. not sure it that was right? I got +255 i think
Q2 – 60 days and 40 days after policy change – i found a benefit…
Q3 – I got WACC as 9.34% ish – included overdraft
Q4 – this lost me! I made up all of the valuations!! Wish I has studied this bit more!
Hoping I’ve done enough to pass!
