It was a very hard paper.
March 7, 2018 at 1:32 pm #440991General questions in part c.
March 7, 2018 at 1:40 pm #440994Omg… so detailed questions in both A &B sections… C was quite Ok bit still it was easy to miss some important info.. 🙁
March 7, 2018 at 1:48 pm #440996Section A was really hard. So many MCQ and matching questions. I’m not sure that I chose all right variants , it’s too difficult (((
March 7, 2018 at 2:17 pm #441005can anyone answer the section B
last case study
1st question
semi variable for 12200 something.March 7, 2018 at 2:19 pm #441006yea.. that’s section is quite difficult.
March 7, 2018 at 3:03 pm #441032agree…very hard paper and too much details everywhere…sad
March 7, 2018 at 3:35 pm #441048What about Question 1 (how much investment should decrease? I got 10 mln to decrease.
Part – C – Two main factors – what did you write?
March 7, 2018 at 3:46 pm #441052It was a high low methods to find the variable and fixed cost elements
V/C (235000 – 22000) / (14000 – 11000 units)
V/C 5 p.uTc= fc + vc
235000= fc + (5 × 14000)
235000 = fc + 70000
Fc= 165000Therfore the semi variable for 12200 unit is
165000 + (5×12200)
165000 +61000
Tc= 226000Ans B

which paper did you have?i didnt have such questions about factors and investments.March 7, 2018 at 3:58 pm #441056In Sections A & B, I found the CBE format (of which was now mandatory) of these questions to be 10x harder than the paper based I sat in December 2017. To give 8 possible tick boxes and asked to tick the 4 which are correct gives you a much less chance at scoring two marks statistically than it would have with a traditional A, B, C or D answered question.
March 7, 2018 at 4:02 pm #441059Very very vad format of mcq n mtqs. Choosing one amomg four was hell easy
March 7, 2018 at 4:03 pm #441062if i remember the figures correctly i think its
$220000 for 11000 units and 235000 for 14000so high low method results to 15000/3000 = 5.
so 220000 = a + 5 * 11000
a= 165000so TC= 165000 + 5* 12200
TC = 226000March 7, 2018 at 4:04 pm #441064Anyone got section c with a profit volume graph? We had to write stuff in that don’t know wht! Ppr setter was insane who sat that question.
March 7, 2018 at 4:04 pm #441066In transfer pricing one what was the minimum transfer price u guys put on
March 7, 2018 at 4:11 pm #441075Section A flowed very well but Section B and C was really tricky, so many details and can easily loose marks.
what did you guys get for minimum transfer price for question 32.I was thinking it is maybe 3+4+7= 14. i got 7 by 15-3-4-1=7.
but external market is 13 so it cannot be this as 13 should be maximum.so is it maybe 4+3+1=8 ?
March 7, 2018 at 4:22 pm #441079March 7, 2018 at 4:29 pm #441082and suprisingly i ddnt knw the life cycle profit per costumer, the bank thingy quest. anyone got that quest correct, i dnt knw where i went wrng cause usually its easy.
March 7, 2018 at 4:36 pm #441085i also had 7$ as minimum tr price
March 7, 2018 at 4:38 pm #441088Who all gave f5 in a paper based format?
If anyone remembers the question & answers lets discuss…..
March 7, 2018 at 4:40 pm #441090Exactly i got as a loss….. I guess i got a loss of 25000 so selected 25$ as the option

It was a very difficult paper.Many questions were out of the box and were different than all past papers and revision kit questions. Those who had a Strong extra ordinary kind of preparation with pure strong concepts will be able to pass such a exam in the future.March 7, 2018 at 5:31 pm #441108The paper was a disappointment, didnt expect it to be so tough with so much of calculations and understanding and yet so little time allocated.
December 2017 paper was much easier though.
Do you think examiners will mark the paper more leniently if it is tough?
