in section C, 1st question related to mix and yield variances and the company’s performance in part b. and question 2 complete about building block model.
questions were too lengthy to extract the required information it even in OT cases also.God help everyone to get success in this exam.
Hi
I just checked my account and it says results 12th October,I did two exams and I dont know whether to start preparing for another or wait till the results to see what happens , is a month !!
What would you recommend guys ?
Hiya, It depends how you feel after sitting your exams and if you want to resit in December in case you have failed? I normally move on to another exam and start revision. 6 weeks is a long time to lose…
Section A was ok, one Section B question hard, and Section C was tricky ( Had Health Nuts & Ye… too). And, time ran too fast
I had the issue but realised it was the way I pressed my calculator..Later got 75%..There was a variance question I used an imaginary figure and didn’t know until after the exam ..i know variances well but I failed it because of that…Its an exam, somethings are bound to happen. Just hope and pray, it may not be as bad as we think
I got the question..For me one of the managers got the bonus..i got 50,000 ROI and 18% …That manager achieved the two KPI
Hello all! Did anyone get the joint products question as sec C ? it was about calculating the optimal production plan for 2 joint products but there were no constraints whatsoever, it was about DAISY Co if I remember correctly…
The veggie pot question was missing information I’m sure of it? They gave us a cost card per batch, but then the question was per unit?
Perhaps I missed some information given the nerves / stress but I read the question numerous times.
On the whole I think the exam went ‘okay’ – had to guess a few towards the end.
Veggie pot, I lost so much time on reading and thinking the same think, batch and then unit?!!Did you had therapist question in sec. C? what was the suggested transfer price? IN section B questions were very hard, except the one with the ties but again when i calculated, didnt get the right answer.
I had the C sec. question with therapists, how much was the suggested transfer price? the other with mix variance didnt have the time, and too much information.
On the B sec. I expected to have not so tough questions, but some were disaster, so much text I couldnt concentrate.
How the hell do you reslove a queston from A sec. something like fixed cost are 50 k, anv VC 15 per unit, and then fixed go up at 120 k, and VC at 25 per unit, i think it asked whats the optimum or minimum production to cover all the cost??
Most important, 3h are just not enough, because when u see the clock is ticking, you get panicked, adn everything goes to faill.The exam was extremely hard and this was my first time setting it. I practiced alot of questions and even learnt how ACCA word their questions but never saw a paper with so many complicated worded questions. I had variances and transfer pricing in Section C and I was good at those but the question confused me. As a result, I ended up adding in operating cost in my transfer pricing question and not calculating the variance mix question according to actual output..Overall ACCA is trying to separate the sheep from the goat.
yeah true the paper was really tough mostly the section C about health and nuts it just threw me off. Lets hope to GOD that we all pass our exam.
Veggie pot target costing question was confusing. Fingers crossed for the results.
exactly! I couldn’t even calculate the target cost which I thought would be the easiest thing to do in the exam, but the other 4 requirements were fine.
The batch details were given but were not mentioned anywhere about how many units were in a batch. I went through the question thrice I didn’t find anything moved on from there.Hopefully, will make it through. overall exam was fine but section C was tough.
I read the Veggie pot question thrice and couldnt find any information on how many units were in a batch. Hope it was missing some information, so we can get those marks.
so true batch units weren’t mentioned and i wasn’t able to calculate. Theory part in that Sec B was manageable!
I gave it on 16th but I’m not sure if it was same as on 9th. how was it for you?
This seems true they are tricking us to get fee every time and this exam is getting on my nerves now.
Anyone wrote the exam on 16th (2nd week) and felt the exam was actually not that bad and manageable…or did i get everything wrong lol..?
I wrote on the 9th, let me know what questions did you get so we can compare if it was the same? What was in section c?
The exam was way too weird, i did the study text twice snd spent most time on pm still the paper was super bad!!!
