how did u do to get a=400

Every decrease 2$ in price, the demand will increase 5000 batches, up to 1mil batches
So at 1ml batches, the price cannot go down anymore => P =0 at Q = 1ml > get a = 400

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.

My MCQ were:
1.C
2.C
3.D
4.A
5.B
6.D
7.D
8.A
9.C
10.B
11.A
12.C
13.D
14.A
15.D
16.C
17.C
18.B
19.A
20.D
21.C
22.A
23.A
24.C
25.B
26.B
27.C
28.D
29.B
30.B

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.

The answer for Q1 was I think consider both the VC and FC for that product and Price willing to pay?

@Sye… I don’t quite remember the question.

France 25 do u remember what was q num second about?
