Use the “after mena” column for most of the Q. Don’t even bother with the pre mena column except for the Fx rate fot q2. It’s a very simple PnL variance exercise. q2 3 5 should be easier
Answer to option A is as following:
Salaries = Head of Accountant Salary (unchanged) + (2 Fully Qualified (FQ) Accountants + 3 Part Qualified (PQ) Accountants + 4 Accounting Technicians )*10%)
Additional cost = Salaries*25%
Amortisation of non-current assets = same as before
Accounting admin costs: materials and variable overheads = same as before

My section C was the following 2:
I/ was NPV and ROCE investment appraisal, give comment on that, and discussing uncertainty vs risk. This was a reasonable one and I expect good things.
II/ was EOQ, cash operating days, and why hold on to cash
I think I did EOQ okay except I forgot to divide Cost of Holding by 2, that would hurt.
For section B I think my answer included:
6.49% for WACC – I used Market Value, 3.8% for k(debt) after tax, as it’s irredeemable and therefore a perpetuity. I forgot what I got for equity

It is quite frustrated to know I didn’t do well in topics I should have.
