ACCA Paper PM December 2020 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments

Wow decision tree. I get transfer price which I am not good in that. I thought if any question related to section c come than I am ok but didn’t .

Anyone knows how to solve this question..
It’s learning rate question and given that first 10units take 100hour time and from 10-30units it further take another 150 hours time ,so what’s the learning rate?
It was first question and really I got stuck on that!

I cant believe they didn’t give any proper questions from chapters like performance management and stuffs like breakevensales and learning curve in sec A & B!!
For sec C, it was kinda similar to dec’16.

Me too! How did you find it ??

My exam was rolling budgets and transfer pricing in section c.. i think i did not too bad! It’s always tricky with the time allocated for section c.. section a was alright!! But messed up one of section b questions, relevant costing of the bakery!! Hated that question
Anyone got that?

For the Transfer Pricing Q in Section C, what did people get for the effect on overall profit if the division went with the alternative supplier?

Sounds like I had the same as the majority of people!

ABC and Variances (Cupcake company) on section B

Section C covered Moving from an Annual Budget to Rolling Budget and Transfer pricing as the final question.

In response to one of the questions above, I ended up with an answer that overall going with an external supplier resulted in an additional profit of just over 2 million for Sleep Co was it? Much bigger profit in Bed division but smaller profit in Mattress division which would have impacted on the divisional managers bonus.

I got the same 75%

Section A had some I had to do a bit of guess work. I liked Section B – I got ABC costing for a hospital, copper variances and cakes. Section C – transfer pricing and rolling budget.

I also had the profit increase by about 2m when they went with external supplier

To someone who mentioned the * key – this threw me too initially, I could have sworn we were able to use it in the specimen exam. I eventually found that you have to use the one above the number 8.. so shift and 8 on my keyboard

I got this and ROI

MCQs were awful, section C was fair, but had problem with the star key not working on Vue.
I feel I have not so many chance to pass, because I wasted 16 marks for that issue.

Guys this was tough. I had an absolute disaster on one of the section B otc’s, literally geussing. I believe it was the cupcakes question. However, I did get the ROI, RI and reverse ABC questions in section C. You kinda need a minimum 40% in your worse sections to pass. It will be tight if I’d pass I’d say, but good luck to all.

@rushba2806@ from what I remember activity based budgeting is like ABC but in reverse.
