    It was 6m Creditor for PPE i guess. The initial rate was 2 dinar/usd and when payment was made the rate was 3 dinar/usd. This meant that there was 1m realized gain on this. For the ratio analysis this mean that Operating profit decreased by 1m (As far as i remember it was 2050 before so 1050 after) and also that Retained earnings decreased by 1 million (which meant that it changed the Capital employed number as well)

    Are you talking about F7? Did we really had dinars to deal with? I really cannot remember that or I have missed. For sure, there were not any foreign currency exchange rates given on F7, so I guess either you are talking about another exam or we have different versions in different locations? Does anybody else have foreign currency on F7?

    I did CBE on F7. It might be the case that the paper and the CBE differs slightly i am not too sure.

    Tice brand – I brought down to 5.5
    I seem to remember another answer I had as 7.2
    And I think another impairment answer was maybe .5 after I used surplus

    I had one with subsidiary disposal and only STPL, three ratios and coments
    and one single entity (STPL, Share capital and STFP)

    also there was nothing about foreign exchange, financial instruments or EPS in the whole paper

    a lot of Good Will….

    I had the same answers, what was the number of days for the Operating Cycle?

    That sounds like my long questions… I did CBE. Did you do the ratio commentary in excel? I found that difficult!

    Operating cycles ? Gross profit margin I had about the same before disposal. Operating expenses reduced. Interest cover was 17 times , but I think I used the wrong profit
    Ratio analysis – 9 marks was a lot , considering there were only three ratios and I couldn’t find much to talk about

    How do we know which five questions were the ‘red herrings’ ? Is it the easy ones ? (For example how is bargain purchase treated – to p&l)

    Discontinued operation figure. I know you put to p and l. But the comments I thought went to notes. But I just looked up and I was wrong – they can also go to p&l
