I don’t see any examples like this…

Hi sir,

I did finish the question but I was trying to work out the std mix… I have also watched the lectures videos however in this example ratios were given… it is incorrect because I didn’t use the materials mix equation…

What would the equation be in this case for the standard mix?

[ythomas]

Thank you so much sir.

You always feel like the answer is right in your face. After you’ve received help lol.

[ythomas]

Thanks so much for this sir.

Just out of curiosity are the old questions not worth doing? I found these questions at the back of the BPP study text…

[ythomas]

Thank you for your help, most appreciated!

Apologies… I meant power of 3…

But how will I know in the exam what power to times it by?

[ythomas]

Hi again sir,

I figured out how to work it out.

Thank you anyway

[ythomas]

No my calculator doesn’t allow me to do the root.

Thank you for your help…

[ythomas]

Thank you for your help sir

Hi sir…

I’ve found a way to do it e.g

8a(r^3)=34.3
8(12.5)((r^3)=34.3
r=34.3/(8*12.5))^(1/3)
=0.70

Thanks you so much sir

Apologies…
the question was how did the budgeted sales increase to 40,000 units?

But how did you get the total fixed overheads?

[ythomas]

Apologies for the A… it was the way I copied and pasted the question

[ythomas]

Hi sir…
I figured it out… the ratio is the percentage of the actual quantity actual mix..
e.g 30% of 6000…
I have watched your lectures but it was the ratios that was making me look at the question difficult.. I have never seen this material yield question like this before… I worked it out using the individual method and not the total… i got -800… I added the variances -6300+ 10000+ -4500= -800

[ythomas]

Thank you so much for your help sir!

I’ve figured it out now… ??

[ythomas]

Apologies but I’m still not getting that…

9000/16×1,500=0.375

I am putting 4 ?0.375 = 0.75 not 0.78
Even when I use the square root twice I’m not getting this figure..

– attempt past papers… do them and do them again – I go over past papers a million times! I scour the internet for them.. quizzes and mock exams! It helps understand the meaning behind definitions and concepts.. look at the answers, read the examination marking..
– try different methods of studying; watching YouTube videos, revision cards, going through the text books etc
– the key is repetition… you will remember information and how to answer questions by memory..

[ythomas]

ACCA accredited revisions books are very detailed but if you don’t mind a simplified version then forums like open tuition will be the best for you.. depends on what your learning style is..
