Value chain for 2nd question

Performance hierarchy for 3rd

Found this the toughest paper

[unag]

I had roce roi ri and Eva in first question and divisional performance

[unag]

Can anyone remember the marks for the other paper

Q1 Cost of capital for 2 projects

calculate current cost of equity and cost of capital for co..

Q2 Interest rate swap AND future hedge

i) calculate the swap 4 marks
ii) work out the future hedge i think
iii) advantages and disadvantages of swaps instead of futures

Cant remember rest
I got 110 contracts

5.1% for interest rate swap
5.2% for future

Q3 Comment on MBI and discuss managers and employees thoughts ?

calculate share price
Comment on the offer compared to shareprice calculated at (a)

I ungeared and didn’t regear as only equity financed

[unag]

Not a nice paper at all…
I sat my exam today at 1.30pm

The last q3 was shocking. All about valuation of business Shobdon

Like u studied and did many questions and past papers… never did I come across a question like this before!

Q2 interst swap or futures
Got the swap part 100% but only worth 4marks

The future I struggled to finish.. always confuses me

Q1 Cost of equity and cost of capital
This was quite a confusing question got muddled wondered if I was on the right track..

Not an NPV in sight ??

Resit for sure in June and that was my 2nd time sitting that darn paper !!

[unag]

yes, mine was negative APV40m+

[unag]

The models can be used as a guide and so it is not imperative that they are mentioned… it’s good to know them so you can use them as tool for answering questions ?

[unag]

My 3rd attempt today
I answered the questions only model I used was BCG
Feeling a wee bit more positive but definitely didn’t say enough
I’m always afraid of waffling so I hold back
And in my head I know it but u always forget to write it
I never said anything about time and scope of change I just mentioned it might be difficult as people so used to diesel and petrol cars… scored very little but hopefully I’ve done enough

[unag]

Hello
Did you have any luck with an answer to your question?
I too am struggling with this exam.

[unag]

Thanks Chris ?

I had 24,000 hours too with BB and so that combined with higher contribution made me chose BB and partially make box b with excelsior

@ezehrobinson

im not sure but i can remember caluclating 24000hrs required somewhere.

Theres truly no right answer here right. They just see if our answers make sense. I agree that Excelsior is a new customer but the thing is as they will be marketing it with theyre own name it would mean our products will not have our own strong brand name which is vital for success.

Again it all comes down to how we present our answers.

[unag]

Yes I agree Aisling that’s what I arrived at although 6000 Labour hours for box b chocolates with excelsior

@aishling82 said:
Did it not say in the question that the two orders could not be done together? They could only do one or the other and not in parts? Therefore there was unused skilled labours for both, 16,000 remaining with excelsior and 6000 with BB? Both have the same contribution per labour hour, but obviously BB gave a higher margin as it used more labour hours

[unag]

I said to go with bb supermarket as higher contribution for question 1b

I think I half answered the question ??

This was my 2nd attempt and it was horrible !!!

[unag]

Thanks!!
Just watched this… I will follow these techniques

[unag]

Thanks

[unag]

Hi,

Can someone advise what ‘link theory’ is?

And also – where I could get my hands on Answers for March/June Sample questions?

Many thanks,
Una

[unag]

What did every one do with Npv?

I found this exam tough… it was straight forward company but there was alot if writing

Can anyone remember marks for q 1&2?

[unag]

I don’t know what you mean

Can we use the exam paper to write rough answer plans?
How will marker know that this is workings only?

[unag]

I too was confused….no core models that I learned were on there….also was two of the questions relating to projects??? Resit for me for sure ? …I found this exam very different from practice papers!!

[unag]

I too am worried – very long paper and I have learned there were 6 questions in section b and not 5 – I only answered 5 🙁

Does anyone know if last question was a 20 marker?

[unag]

Hi,

I am doing F9 and P2 in Dec12, if anyone is interested in being a study buddy.

Una

[unag]

JM84 – Thanks very much – I have to say quite impressive!!

I think F7 is a resit for me 🙁

[unag]

jm84 – your answers to q1+2 are brilliant – Im sorry I didnt know you before the exam!!!
