Passed P4 with 52, From this moment on I am officially an Affiliate!!!! What for a journey!!!
PE is the exercise price ( not discounted) which was the £28m PA was the Pv of cash flow from year 3to year 5, together with the other variable you had to calculate the d1 and d2 and the call option .. after that you had to value the put option ( option to withdrawn) , I came up with a negative value ….
Anyone else used the same approach?
Failed with 48% can’t believe it …… I really thought i had passed
P3 which i was convinced i would fail i got 60%Does anyone knows when the pass-rates are coming out? I tried on the ACCA website but nothing

Anyone remember if the fixed costs in q1 were already incurred?I think they should be included . I got an NPV of $275
I had a similar result; F5 71% but fail F9 with 45% I kind of knew that i messed up F9 in the exam, i went back and changed at least 3 times some of my answer… dammit!!

F5 pass 68% but F9 fail with 43% 🙁 Both exams were first time attempted. I think it wasn’t the best combination of 2 papers. In my opinion F5 exam was harder than F9 but my results say contrarily.@hamsterham said:
For 1, did you add the lost contribution and the penalty together for one of the bullet points? I did, not sure if that was right. I think it was.there was no lost contribution or penalty because on the next paragraph was quoting ” there is no job planned for the coming week and engineers can finish the job”
Like you i first included them in the calculation but then when i was writing the notes i realised that I shouldn’t had so i crossed out……………. was I right? Anyone remember that part?I thought the exam was tough but ok compare with previous exams
Q1 relevant costing, the scenario was endless with loads of details, I left this for last
Q2: transfer price, calculation were relative easy but the written part i struggled a bit
Q3, Budgetary system control, 20marks, WTF? I agree with previous comments BPP didn’t put any emphasise on this at all, fortunately somehow I remember PRIME
Planning
Responsibility
Individual
Motivation
Evaluation
I totally missed co-ordination and I’m not really sure how well i explained those points.Q4, Life cycle and learning curve, first part was fairly easy, tricky calculation for the learning curve and time consuming but overall i feel good about it
Q5 Material price, mix and yield Variances + ABC variances
this was by far my favourite question and that’s were i started the examI was surprise there was no question about performance but I was very happy that CVP & EMA didn’t came up.
Overall i think went ok but you never really know.Now F9 on friday and that will be for sure another beast of exam, I have concentrate so much on F5 in the last week that I may have neglected F9 to much…… well let’s hope for the best.
