    In exam it was given 6% preference share with nominal 94 million.
    I was given in exam 2.27 market price per share of preference share.
    And it was written that 25% is dividend just paid.
    I calculated cost of preference like
    2.27 *.25 = 0.5675 and then I divide it by 2.27 which market price so kp comes like 0.25 is it correct

    Section A and B were awful! Section C NPV question and SOFP question! No cost of debt or equity questions and no WACC, lots of theory questions…not good

    Anyone really understand what we were supposed to do in the revised SOFP question for Section C? Was not prepared for that at all, had not seen something like it in past questions. Also, no CAPM, just one discounted cash flow question. Loads on money markets, fx and company valuation.

    Overall, not great.

    I added the investment as NCA.
    Calculated revised receivables, payables and inventory based on question info.
    Updated cash balances and overdraft to question figures.
    It did not balance so I just put the rest down as reserves.

    Ugh, think I messed up

    Yes, I felt the same way about my exam. I got a lot of questions in the same topic. I had spent a long time studying CAPM, theory on cost of capital, theory on WACC, calculation of cost of capital, risk and uncertainty, etc and in the end there were maybe 2 or 4 marks for all of those topics combined.
