I agree with rogman! Do not take these tips seriously and just ignore them because nothing can be known as to what topics would come. Only way you could somewhat guess is by reading the most recent technical articles as usually 7-10 marks are asked straight from the articles, but other than that, nothing can be known. So its better that no one just focuses on those topics above as it could seriously damage your chances of passing. Best technique is to read the whole syllabus, you do not need to memorize every single area but atleast have some idea of extra topics so you do not feel completely blank in the exam
Good luck
Okay thank you!
Is it necessary to reference the graphs I have used in my ratio analysis even though I created them myself in excel spreadsheet?Do i have to exclude presentation slides from sls and upload it seperately? And is the last submission date and time tomorrow or today? I mean, is it 17th noon which is effectively 18th May or is it 16th noon which is effectively 17th?
Thank you very much for the reply regarding the recommendation and bibliography requirement
My mentor was saying that recommendation is also mandatory, whereas you are saying its optional, im getting a bit confused whether to do or not 🙁In my Delta airlines company for Topic 8, is it a must to give recommendation and is a bibliography list also necessary? I gave conclusion and reference list tho’
I am almost done with the project on Delta airlines
Do you know any reputable sites with which I can check for plagiarism before submission?But what if some companies in the industry have long term contracts where the prices are fixed for lets say the next 5 years with the suppliers and some don’t have these contracts, then how should I comment in such a situation?
Because partly in some companies, the supplier power is low whereas in other companies, it is high. Eventhough all these have the same suppliers, its just the matter of contract which has reduced the power
I haven’t used SWOT in my RAP
I used Porter’s Five Forces and PESTEL analysisDo you think it will be fine by OBU?
There is very less time so I can’t change it alsoJust need assurance whether it would be fine or not
Hey trephana,
I have 2 doubts:
My companies are Delta airlines(main) and American Airlines(competitor)
I am using 31 December 2014,2015 and 2016 financial statements1. Should I explain the differences from 31 December 2013 to 31 December 2014 in my analysis or will 31 December 2014 be taken as the starting point and I only have to analyze and explain 31 December 2014-31 December 2015 and 31 December 2015-31 December 2016 (for ratio analysis)?
2. I have used PESTEL and Porter’s Five Forces. Are these models fine to use?
Hi, my company is Delta Airlines (main company) and American Airlines (competitor)
Can anyone tell me how will I be able to compare them two in terms of business analysis?I have used 2 models: PESTEL and Five Forces.
PESTEL would be same for both since macro-environmental factors would be same for them since they operate in the country (i.e- United States)
Five forces would also be the same
Only thing which would be different would be value chain analysis, M model, etc which I haven’t used.
Financial analysis would be simple as I have to explain significant differences in ratios between both companies but what to do in Business analysis comparison?
Thank you
I have one more similar question relating to above..
In what circumstances will a current ratio below 2:1 and a quick ratio below 1:1 would be acceptable?
I’m confused because these items are not exactly injected into the company for running its operations
Inclusion of long-term debt makes sense because the company can use those funds for its operations
But Deferred revenue is just some revenue recorded in advance, pension liabilities is also a sort of long term expense which is not exactly an injection of funds in the company same goes with Deferred tax liabilities..But the formula says to take Non-current liabilities blindly
My question is, will we look at index funds to analyse the perfomance of the industry? And if not, then how do we analyse the perfomance of the whole industry?
Thank you! and yes I was talking about the epidemic which could affect customers external to organization
So in this analysis, I don’t have to provide a solution to the problem right?
It is just identifying and explaining why it is a threat or opportunity for the organizationDoes anyone remember the requirements of Q1 and Q2 along with the marks allocation for each? Can u type it down
Can you kindly remind me why and for what you people used WACC for APV calculation? Dont we have to use an all equity discount factor to get the Base Case NPV?
Also, can you just confirm whether my understanding of the overall question is correct or not.
We are expecting to receive $48,000,000 so in first instance, I assumed it to be a Foreign currency hedging question because we may need to hedge that receipt.
However, we are not concerned of that, what we care about in this question is the deposit rates which may increase or decrease AFTER we get the amount of $48,000,000 immediately then depositing it in a bank account and hence we want to do interest rate hedging.
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance
Yes it has to be qualified opinion. Thanks for clarifying that. So there will be no emphasis of matter paragraph in this case. Thank you I got it
Can you also tell what paragraphs WONT come in modified opinion report (For example: KAM, emphasis of matter)
Yeah, thank you I got it
I was thinking that management could show a false image throughout the year and the share prices will increase dramatically as well. Shareholders and potential buyers would be really happy.But as you said that, if in the year end the true figures are shown, then the market will react really adversely tarnishing their reputation.
So no sensible company would do such a thing
