I agree. I felt the same with the whole paper. Q1 too much to read, Q3 was hard too asking about ethics and safeguards of being with a company 7 years for 10 marks. The paper was nothing like any of the past papers or questions. My second attempt too and feel like I should continue studying to prepare for a resit in June!
It was finance director you are right.
FD can be the secretary but I think it was an issue in this case as the FD would have had to split his time with a number of different roles and not focus on one role. Also being part of the committees wouldn’t be possible as he would not be independent.
I couldn’t think of what to write here just wrote about the time,cost and quality constraints. Time pressure to finish in 3 years, cost constant due to the funding issues and economic and political issues. Quality issues with trying to complete in 3 years and resource availablity. Definitely didn’t manage to write enough for 12 marks!
Question 2b and 2c I felt were over lapping and didn’t want to say the same things as I would have in part c
for part b i got the answer
profit with 500, 175 and 500 units will be $50875
but profit with 2 extra employees it will be $50420
still not sure where to use the fixed o/h.the answer i got without adding fixed overhead was
double beds 1st and 500 can be made
single bed 2nd 500 can be made
bunk 3rd 175 can be made
i don’t have any answers for it so need help.I am getting two answers with part as as im not sure if fixed overheads are included in variable costs or if they are not included. all the examples in the bpp book do not even mention the fixed overheads so not sure where to put it.
i know i have to rank the beds in contribution per unit order.it is the question on page 18 of this doc.
