@snaher19 said:
Budgets was 20000 unit and revised 25% so revised unit was 25000 which give u 20000-25000 = 5000@ 15 contribution
So 75000A
25000- actual 23000= 2000@15 so 30000F

Do anyone of you remember, who opted for paper based version, what all options were present?
Coz i have kind of forgotten which option i chose.

Thanks in advance

Q26 and Q27: $10 and 20% respectively?

How did you get 10 i got something else?

@snaher19 said:
I don’t think so
What about price variances planing was i think 69000 adverse
Operational 46000adverse

I remember those figures. But not sure about adverse or favorable.

what happen if i forget to put question number in section c
will i lose all point

i did it like this. At first i thought of finding the value of a by using MR=a-2bq but then i went with the approch of P=a-bq placing 0 as value of ‘P’

What did anyone get for mos question and all cvp really messed this bit up

I think I need more practice questions than publishing book as the paper was a bit Confusing and not that difficult. Attempted full paper but still not sure

I did…time for 1000th unit came to 0.37 hours. I then used this in Variable cost total, to come up with MC, which I equated to MR, to find the optimum price/demand.

I got 0.35 🙁

You may well be correct with the 0.35 as opposed to my 0.37 allowing for rounding. Fingers crossed for us all.

Fingers crossed I struggled on the last question ROI other wise was definite pass

What is the marking scheme for Q31 (b) on price penetration and price skimming? The total marks is 8%. What would be a good enough answer to score full marks?

Q32 (a) I got Division C and E ROI = approximately 19% plus and 17.79% respectively. Both Divisions performed well as they made a profit but Division E although made a high profit did not meet the target ROI of 18% because of new investment of $2M.

RI = revised profit – (average net asset x 12%)
Average net asset was opening net asset +closing net asset/2

I messed up on the advantages and disadvantages of RI as I did not revise same and did not remember. After checking now I remember how easy and logical the answer is.

The paper was fair, however the questions are too lengthy and I always seem to have exam phobia and doesn’t think well in the exam. I wish ACCA will make the exam questions shorter and to the point. I did paper base exam.
