    Absolutely no idea how that went.

    Back questions were analysis and recommendation of two target acqusition companies

    One consolidated SFP. Could not get it to balance.

    Nothing on deferred tax which is great as I cannot get my head around it, but really uncertain how it went.

    First set of questions seemed to all be very similar.

    Flip a coin as to whether I passed or not I have no idea.

    You would think three hours would be enough to complete the exam but it is always a struggle

    Thought the exam was all good. Had negative goodwill on consolidation which I was suspicious about…anyone else have this? Think it was Paisley and Scottish or something

    Got exactly the same i expected in Sec C, 1. Preparation of SPL and SFP 2. Profit on group disposal and ratio analysis, overall it was easy!

    Sections A & B seemed ok and pretty good.
    Section B had ratio analysis and consolidated SFP. Ratio analysis I think was pretty good for me, but I couldn’t balance SFP and ended up making so many adjustments I’m 99% sure it’s all wrong at the end. However, really hoping on those marks with ratio analysis question.

    we had the same questions. it was actually pretty basic…even my SOFP balanced .. i geuss 20 is secured! hahaha..

    The MCQs were mixed.. some theoritical about framework and tax was so horrible.. others were so simple… overall my exam set was pretty decent to achieve a pass….

    Head from some friends who got consolidation on sec-c,, it was damn right… and took more than an hour for them to complete that ..

    @ryanb88 i think we had the same question type. i wasnt expecting a whole balance sheet.

    and when it came to recommendation i was giving suggestion instead of being firm in my decision, i just hope i make it this time.

    I had a consolidated SOFP and that was okay to deal with but I’m not so sure about the ratio ‘Aqua’.

    Anyone else had this? I wasn’t so sure about the placing of a next year redeemable loan for ROCE and gearing, and that’s when it got messed up.

    @cathyspicy

    Yes, we definitely had the same. I think I did very poorly on the SFP, felt much more comfortable with the acquisition targets – I recommended the smaller acquisition (reef?).

    Fingers crossed, we wait and see!

    This is not funny that after you have studied and practiced to come up against a confusing exam like those mcqs. SMH. Well ACCA! You outdone yoself. If I pass this it’s a miracle. Failing F7 FR for a 100th time? Wow.

    What was the retained earnings in the consolidated sofp in the Goodwill of the subsidiary at acquisition? Did you use the reporting date one or take the profits to date from it ?

    I also had the sfp consolidation. I got about 9000 roughly for bargain purchase. To calculate the net assets at acquisition you take the retained earnings on the report and add the lossbforbthe 6 months of the yeaer of 5000 (because its a mid year aquisition) mine balanced but I know I showed the bargain purchase incorrectly but never mind figure I may only lose a point or so hopefully

    Yeah mine was 9000 roughly as well. I put it into retained earnings as I thought that a bargain purchase went straight to the P&L.
