    in Q1 where there was a nominal terms NPV and a real terms NPV, for the working capital, i inflated the cash flows and then worked out incremental working capital for the nominal terms section, and for the real terms section, i used cash flows that were not inflated, so each NPV had different incremental Working capital figures was this correct?

    MV of Equity : Market value of each share multiplied by the number of shares in issue.

    MV of Debt : Total Nominal Value / 100, multiplied by current market value.

    <cite> @rameezkirajih said:</cite>
    question 5 …. inflation should be added or not ?? coz board of governance said new budget to be prepare on notes .. so no inflation was given or cited in notes there was just increament or % used plz any 1 reply….

    i multiplied the figures by the inflation rate im sure we had to do that regardless of what the notes said? and yes the decision tree figures needed to be multiplied by 3

    in the lifecycle question, was there a big calculation on target costing??? i missed note 3 (rework costs)…attempted the note 1 and note 2 changes and just added on the other original lifecycle costs to get a total figure hoping to get a couple of follow through marks…jus wondering now if i missed out a big chunk of calculations to do with target costing

    RE ‘Actual Quantity Standard Mix’ line for the Mix variance : so lets say e.g. the standard hours were 0.6, 0.8 and 1.2…..meaning total standard hours is 2.6….what i did is i took the actual quantity and multiplied it by 0.6/2.6….0.8/2.6….1.2/2.6…and these figures were my Actual Quantity-Standard Mix answers….was that correct????

    in the mix and quantity question, how did people get the second line for mix, i.e. Actual Quantity Standard Mix, how was the standard mix decided, i added up all the hours e.g. 0.8 add 0.6 etc, then did 0.8, 0.6 etc divided by the total hour amount and used those figures on the actual quantity to get my Actual Quantity Standard Mix figures

    i dont remember the figures now, but i did realise i need to multiply by 3 years, the ev calculations were correct for my decision tree, but if the tree itself was wrong then will have lost more marks..hoping to have just got a few follow-through marks..

    in the lifecycle question, all i did was attempt to calculate the direct materials again, and a small learning curve calculation using the equation, then added all the other costs in the lifecycle to it…i ignored note 3 and the notes at the top relating to target cost etc…do we get marks even for adding all the numbers up again like i did?
