    My question is that
    for example in a question we are asked to determine full cost per unit using (a) traditional costing, (b) ABC and (c) explain the difference in full cost

    Using constructed response worksheet I completed the first two in excel and my question is that for (c) we need to explain it in the same spreadsheet or we have to write the answer in word sheet? I am really confused as to what to do?

    If you look at the F5 full specimen exam, for example, https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f5/cbe-specimen-exams.html#
    You will see that part(s) to be answered in different formats are presented with different templates. So, for example, Q31 (Carad) – parts (a)(i)-(iii) have a spreadsheet and part (b) has a word sheet.
