For the EOQ question, isn’t stating purchase cost irrelevant, because it will be the same regardless how we order.
So it is necessary to look at holding and ordering costs?

Won’t make a difference as the saving should be the same either way, can’t remember what was asked, in an exam kit they did all three, but the saving should be same either way.

ACCA now allows P papers to be taken in any order.
I am going to go for P1 and F6 in Dec.
I have your advice saved as a screenshot for F6 🙂P1 seems interesting. Mike Little’s P1 lectures are great.
I read P1 is good as one’s first P paper.Then there is P2 and P3.
P2 is a challenging paper, but if you did well in F7, it won’t be bad.
P1 and P3 are ‘wordy’ papers.
DId you really like F9, P4 maybe?
F9 is still very fresh in your mind.
Although I don’t think most people go for an optional P paper as their first.You are a good student. Pick what you feel is best for you!
Good luck bro!thanks for the advice @suf23
I Probably do P1, like following the order where order where I can, as it tends to overlap.
I hope that my approach will help you, I know it tends to be a little different than others. Hopefully we will all do well and good luck on any exams you are doing.@samirrules said:

Personally, I just calculated order and holding costs and wrote a note why I didn’t add component costs. As you point out, the difference is exactly the same since component costs didn’t change.

I beleive the options were:
relation with bank.
managing interest rates.
dividend policy.
(and one more option about liquidity)i beleive, bank is directly involved with liquidity since overdraft facility renewal needs good relation with bank.
Liquidity factor may suggest retaining cash and delaying or skipping divindend payments to maintain liquidity, and thus effects dividend policy.
answer seems to be – interest rate management. cant think of any possible relation.

but dividend policy does get effected should a company need to retain cash to maintain liquidity…
how about the interest rates? cant think up of any way how WCM can effect that.

i think its that – real rate of interest would be same for both currencies. (since parities deal with the money inflation, and the nominal interest rates due to inflation – underlying theme is real rate should keep the same (one price law thing)
@adeelabbassiddiqui said: how about the interest rates? cant think up of any way how WCM can effect that.
If interests go up, that would affect working capital (overdraft and short term loans get more expensive; which might be a reason to get long-term debt before they go up).
But I don’t know. I had no idea how to answer the question because all four answers looked relevant to me.
Hello,
I’m sitting this paper in December which is a repeat.
Just wondering could someone tell me the topics that came up please?
Denise!
The paper wasnt bad but it was very unusual and i am saying this because there was no wacc calculation no forward rate hedge and money market calculation and almost nothing on gearing this is very unusual. however overall paper wasnt bad as far as diifculty is concerened some parts were very straight forward.Mcqs were tricky but the thing is candidates usully prepare good on wacc as its very likely to be there. its been there in every exam so ppl get 10 to 12 marks solid on that but this time it was different. Please let me know if anyone else of you feel same.
My NPV was $12,488,000… hope our answer was correct!!!
EOQ was 15,000 units
When calculate the order cost and Holding cost, both were $7980 or $7950 each, so should be correct right?Did you guys add back the $1,500 working capital in year 4 or you just considered the increamental differences?My NPV was too big a figure.I thought i had made a mistake.i started computing all over again thinking i did not subtract corporation tax but still arrived at the same NPV of about $10,800.It give me comfort when i see that most you had the same big NPV which is very un usual
There was a mcq .. Financial manager/management responsibility is (i)producing monthly management accounts or( ii)advising on important Non Current Asset and there were two more options. Can
any one remember the answer?- Topics: 0

Hello, what came out in September Sitting. Section B.. Options (Q1- Q5)
@samirrules said:
I got a NPV of 11.891 million I think it was, i was working in thousands though.
The Eoq was cheaper, the saving I got was 8281, this was same as a question in the exam kit I believe.For the Rec management, I calc receivables, finance cost and irrecoverable debt for both 40 and 65 days and worked out the difference and waffled about how discounts or factoring could help to reduce irrecoverable debts in particular.
Thought some multiple choice were tricky.
For capm, first specified that capm incorporates systematic risk which Wacc doesn’t. Then explain how you would degear the asset beta as this will be found from external firms as new project and this doesn’t incorporate financial gearing. Then regear with co financial gearing and use capm to get project specific discount rate.
r u sure about the answers u got in sec c because i got the same?!
