I don’t remember the other two.
There was an MCQ in Section A regarding the theory of contraints. I chose A as answer.I went with B I believe, whichever one said “the aim is to turn raw material into cash as soon as possible”
Since the question was “which of these is NOT an aspect of the theory of constraints”
And the statement above indicates that producing more is better
When in throughput, we accept idle time over producing if it means we’re more like JIT etc

first 15 MCQ – okay, but coming on this forum gives me doubts
next 15 MCQ – very, very hard.. most of my answers were guesses
question 31 – a and b i waffled a lot.. i was fine on zero budgeting {it came up recently b4}
question 32 – everyone waffled i assume, but i don’t know how many marks i picked up, especially as 4 were for calculations {i barely used any in my answer}it will be a very tight call.. i’m hoping for something like 15+8+14+13 = 50%
I seriously waffled on Q32 too. I didn’t see many opportunities to use calculations either. Kinda went with “they’re doing okay but not great”!
ACCA is overdoing a good joke now! They are ABUSING the use of MCQ’s. Many times I found myself struggling to choose a correct answer simply because all options are arguably correct but that’s the problem! One can’t argue one’s point with MCQ’s; it’s either 2 or 0!!
i agree
make it hard definitely
make every question compulsory so you have to study the whole book, fine
make sure the candidate understands the subject and hasn’t just parrott-learned; okay
but please stop doing everything you can to trip up students and make them repeat over and overThe high low question for F5 was as follows:
They had 5000 Units and it cost £23000.
They had 7000 Units and it cost £31500At 6000 Units Fixed costs go up £500.
At 8000 Units Fixed costs go up £500 again.What would it be at 9000 units.
I subtracted 500 from 31500.
Then I ran the high low calculation with those figures.
I believe the fixed costs were 3000, Variable cost was £4 per unit.So 9000 * 4 = 36000 + Fixed costs of 3000. Then add fixed costs of 500 and 500 again for the over 6k units and over 8k units.
Basically £40 000
Thats what I did anyway and if it is wrong oh well 2 marks
The section B or C question I forget which and can only remember the latter part of it was.
Contractors need to be tendered for the boiler fixing. This was 3,000,000 in last year. One third was allocated to the boiler checks. Every boiler older than 3 years required checking. Of the boilers in that year 62.5% (this % could be wrong) needed to be checked as they were older than 3 years.
This year new legislation means every boiler needs to be check yearly.
This is affected by the economy:
(NOTE: Cant remember exact probabilities but the end % figures I know are correct)
Recession = 0.6 probability – this means the amount tendered is -20%
Stays the same = 0.3 probability – the amount tendered is at 0%
Boom = 0.1 probability – The amount tendered will increase by 40%
I won’t say what I did for all of it but the first part. I took 3mil divided by 3 for a third. (£1mil). Then treated the 1 million as 62.5% and made it 100% for all boilers (£1.6 million – added back the 2 million to give 3.6 million and ran from there…

That’s exactly how I did it.
I’ve always done high low method this way so I’d be very annoyed if this was incorrect
well I did it that way, my mate did it that way so I’m hopefully scoring 2 at the very least haha
I did Q32, Performance analysis, 4 marks for calculations and 16 for discussion. I did my calculations which amounted to about 4 but did not write these in the answer booklet. I just included the answers in the discussions for e.g. increase by 2% in 20X7 moving from say 1000 in 20X6 to 1020 in 20X7. Will I still be awarded the 4 marks or will I not get them because I did not show my workings. They did not say we should show our workings for these calculations.
I always would just put a bit of workings in but I don’t think it will go too hard against you if not. If you have the answers there and you have discussed appropriately I’m sure it will be fine.
The whole thing is a giant racket though. The amount of money they make from each sitting is insane, as the cost for someone to mark it is just a tiny fraction. It is in ACCAs interest to limit the amount of people passing and increase re takes as it earns them lots of money/
i won’t be let down by any of the answers here,i wait patiently for the results..i think we must all be hopeful and wait for the result.Sharing answers here has the tendency of getting people down. Meanwhiles it could be that what is being shared is wrong!!!!

Meanwhiles it could be that what is being shared is wrong!!!!I agree. You have to remember that due to the changes to CBE there are few versions of the questions, that’s why the answers don’t match here.
Be patient 🙂
Guys, I think I had a different variant at all. Had 20 questions in A. Has anyone had the same? Did you remember the question about police and fingerprints, was it efficiency or economy?
One question in part C Q35 was about IOA and ARCHI architects institutions. Has anyone had it too?what anyone get for section C second question for the total cost for bags r us.
i think i got £33034

One question in part C Q35 was about IOA and ARCHI architects institutions. Has anyone had it too?I dont remember the police and fingerprints but i did have Q35 on IOA, I did struggle with getting enough points to make the 20 marks i think.
Did you have the buckles co question in section C i got total cost of Bagsr us at £33034 i think.
Not sure if anyone has noticed but the questions from Section C are up on the ACCA website already, if anyone wants to torture themselves over what answer they put!
I’ve just had a look and i don’t recognise question 31 that was definitely not included in my exam. i did the afternoon sitting so am thinking it must have been different papers for the morning and evening but question 32 was there.
that was a hard start for me on getting onboard..I think I failed 🙁 although I studied a lot. Lost my time with linear programming. God I had to guess on those questions although I thought I got the study topic and practiced it.

question 8 on the hr senior who went on an holiday and disclosed his password and username to the junior staff and the junior staff used this data to leak the salary of the seniors, the question states how to prevent? I chose option D . Changing the password subsequently.I thought I was dumb on that question. I assumed that if the manager is on vacation and is not supposed to log in during this, then IT should be able to spot any connections from his id thus can control any unauthorized accesses. Other options seemed strange to me. (

Other options seemed strange to me. (but how would changing the password regularly have prevented this ? his manager gave the junior employee his p/word
the only one that looked reasonable to me was HR printing some kind of activity logChanging a password subsequently or regularly- to me it is just fixing a problem after it already occurred. If next time HR Senior mgr again deliberately discloses the password the problem will repeat.
I was initially thinking in a way what could have been done before so the leakage didn’t happen at all. With modern IT opportunities, if vacation absence time is recorded in the system and IT security software can spot local connections of a person being vacation, then IT Security software could have locked the user id. Can’t this work in real life?
