I really wasn’t expecting the NPV question about the joint probability, just had practice about 1-2 times only…. Should have revised Text rather than revision kit. Ruined all of my marks. Not a good expectation about the result….. thinking of reading again….. F9.
Reading again It was a disaster for me… Should I read again? And take again in june ??what a disaster section C;
Was expecting a WACC, working capital and/or NPV investment appraisal as per the previous past papers.
Never even heard of joint probablities tables before.
hi guys, what questions came up on section C of the paper? i am sitting in june 2018 and would appreciate any advice please thank you
There was an expected NPV with joint probabilities. And TERP, rights issue and debt finance of business expansion.
What a disaster! This is going to be my first fail… I am so dissappinted as I studied really hard and completely ruined the joint probabilities question- I never came across it! What did you guys get for the WACC calculation? And how did you comment on the behaviour of WACc if the conversion was taken out? I hope you did better than I did!
Is the CBE different to the paper exam? As I didn’t have any joint probabilities question…
Where did you sit your exam? I know that the computer based exam had at least 2 versions as the guy that sat next to me
had completely different questions.Also Islamic finance,
And simulation, risk adjusted discount rates and discounted payback.@aturkis said:
In Manchester. I hope so, unless I’ve missed something 😀Haha yes don’t worry. I panicked when he started asking me about islamic finance question I was like whaaaat! But then we worked out the questions were completely different
In uk paper version is no more from March session. Only cbe. Gave my first CBE . Found it hard for long questions but for mcq cbe is good
Why you guys think joint probablities was hard? Ok smth different than usual but i see most of you being stressed because of that question.

I got section B: sensitivity analysis, FX forward rates/hedges, and business valuation.
Section C: grout co…. lease v buy (DCF) and Moscow Co … WACC
I feel like acca are trying to get us to read the text more rather than practice exam revision kits because having taken f5 and f9, the questions are nothing like practice papers. They’re really just testing your IQ at this stage
I got 7.78% for the WACC and just talked about the different theories M&M with tax, traditional etc. and the difference it would make if option or premium was taken using those theories. I have no idea if that is what they were looking for. The paper was hard and like you, Julia, I couldn’t work out the probabilities NPV question.
Anybody know how the probabilities question should have been answered? What was the NPV?

The paper was hard and like you, Julia, I couldn’t work out the probabilities NPV question.I think I got something like 6.6% for WACC … I took the same approach in the ‘wordy’ question. I hope for a miracle that I somehow scrape through with 50% pass but it’s very unlikely…
