    I admit some of the question in MCQ section were time consuming, but some of them were relatively simple and it was just a matter of second to answer those question. Like there was a question where VC was 230, and question was to provide the price at which profit is optimum and the answer is 230 because optimum profit is there where MC = MR, and if anyone has gone through the Breakeven point analysis then he should be answering such questions in very less time. Overall the Exam was OK.

    Can’t remember what the numerical answer was but your method is wrong. MC=MR is right but MC doesn’t equal P. You needed to do MC=a -2bq and solve then insert your figures for a,b,q into the price equat ion P=a – bq

    wish you all the best – all of you – reading the comments gave me a little hope that it may happen and i pass – but my experience with acca is always disappointing last Dec i did not cover even 50% of the syllabus and got 41 this time i covered all the syllabus yet I’m not sure that i can attain the same 41 really- It is not about squiring the knowledge it is about outputting this knowledge given the time constraint .

    well, it was harder than the past papers which i used for practice.
    qn1. Growth
    Qn2. profit
    Qn3. 300 adverse

    section B, what was the optimum output of necklaces? i got 450…does anyone remember their answer?

    Got same 450 necklaces. Which left 150 demand which would eliminate limited resource with hire of new designer?

    I think this could be right, why else would they mention that the accountant was off sick for 2 months and hadn’t updated the budgets? Just seems 7 marks is a lot for 2 standard variances but the logic of what your speaking sounds correct

    @anano said:
    In Q31 accountant hadn’t updated standarts and as I remembered, only updated budget may be called revised budget. So I didn’t break it into planning and operational variances. This is maybe my mistake, but anyway my material price variance will be the correct

    Any thoughts on this?

    For q31 operational labour efficiency variance, I working out the total hours available (160hours p/mth x24 (no. of employees) x60 (minutes in an hour) = 230,400 minutes. So on that basis, 24000 units actually took 9.6 minutes per unit, giving a favourable variance of $1,920. Any one else do the same here?

    as long as i remember we had revised costs and actual costs. based on the accountant not being able to work due to sick leave, the budget was not changed. so i worked on the basic variances using the standard budget (we were to use reverse theory where u find the std cost using the revised cost) and then compare it with actual cost. However majority people here have used planning and operational variance in that question so its a debate on what could be right.
