Heychi hi.yeah I was writing in F5 but thanks God not anymore!!!!!Now I wish to pass F9 since I go to classroom for P6 (my first from Ps).we had a great conversation in F5…. But here I speak the most….. Dont know why!!! ? try to help each other about what we picked since papers arent published any more.

Ahh I got 49% in my F5!! lol! – I’m planning to resit in December.

P6? that means you’ve gotten really far!

I work as well and my work doesn’t support me to I can only afford to do 1 paper each sitting or else it will be too much. I have F5, F7 and maybe F9 left for this stage.

I too sat the F9 paper today and although i think i did not do too well. I believe ACCA is not being fair regarding having the ACCA past papers on the website. Other Accounting designations have their past papers on their websites but you have to be a registered student to have access to them. Putting up specimen papers has been going on for too long. The Subscription fee and exam registration cost are way to costly. I understand that it is a professional designation. However in my opinion the students are not given alot of help.

i did,
Q1- a
Q2- d
can anyone tell me what was the correct answer for VFM question?
i did economy for input and efficiency for outcomes.
i think the correct answer for value of a right was 3.6. but i did 0.9.
rights issue price was 25.5 TERP 29.1 and share price was 30.
One of the MCQ was like which of the option is right. i did Forward rate reflect
interest rate parity theory. because the formula was like Fo= So x 1+ic/1+ib
One of the option in MCQ was liquidity vs profitability.
In one MCQ i select option Economic risk.
In one MCQ i select option conservative approach.Because only two working capital approaches are available.
In one MCQ i select option 80000+10000=90000
One of the MCQ is using term which i saw first time. Idid option a-Investors rational desicion on investment.
One MCQ using FRA i select option with $25000.
Profitability index i select was 0.6.
In one option i select market value of debt was some thing like 17.65 i think it was option B.
I am not sure whether i am right or not? Can anyone help me??

I worked out the ultimate answer of @ 11% for Q. 31 without bank loan counted in.

I thought it was a challenging paper. Feel like 50/50 chance of passing.
Had a hard time with the question where the cashflows where 20% chance this and 15% chance that. Never seen anything like it. So guessed that one. The rest i feel confident but just barely.

Where was the question with cash flows with 20% and 15% chance? I don’t think that question was on my exam. Did you sit paper or computer based exam? Can it be that the questions were not same for all students?

Hi all,

I think I’ve just about recovered from that paper! ? It was a strange one. I feel like I really had to work hard for the 2 marks in some of the MCQ. I got A for no 1, being .60 but I’m not sure if that’s correct. I had to do the other question three times to check my rounding but felt confident with 11.2. I used the cost of the other loan for the variable bank loan, as I felt leaving out the 3m wouldn’t give a true weight of the cost of equity to debt…. but that’ll be a big assumption on my part.

All in all, I’m disappointed that I didn’t get asked the questions I wanted to answer! ? I worked hard to cover ALL of the syllabus but felt like it was concentrated on the same key areas, giving them twists to increase difficulty.

I learnt a lot from it though and I’ll be better prepared for the resit in December! ??

Hi, what was the answer of theory of behavioral finance?

@omega1995 said:
Asset beta of proxy company- 1.4 (gearing 1:2)
Our company is fully equity finaned
Market risk – 4%
Premium -7%
What’s the cost of equity

I think we should simply multiply premium with the given beta and add risk free rate in it

I also chose the same for theory of BF, but in case of NRV and irredeemable preference shares I chose neither 1 nor 2
