My god, somebody please tell me what’s wrong with total mix and the Bank’s golden open account and other CVP part. I was extremely confident as all my tests regarding variance and CVP normally took less then 2 minutes to come to results.. but I did calculate 5 times, and can’t get the answer, so have to do the best guess.. So disappointed. Section B is too hard compared to short time assigned. It need complicated calculation, especially the throughput. Same for few other calculcation, why I cant get to any answer, and dont know where I am wrong till now.
By the way, what is the golden open account? is there any tricks there? how you can calculate “wtf” complicated scenario for 3.5 minutes for 2 score?
This was first attemp, but i faced technical issue 1.5h before end of exam. My internet gone so i used mobile hotspot then exam was resumed and everything was fine (technical part). But when suddenly i checked “Chat window with supervisor, i found that she wrote me that she can not see me as her monitor is black and in case of not solving she will revoke my exam.
Got call from USA (as i could not send msg to her in supervisor support window) we tried to solve the technical issue by trying to reconenct to wifi (instead of mobile hotspot), but no success.So unfortunately my exam was revoked. Sent msg to ACCA Global and waiting for reply.
Toward exam:
Section A- was so so (not too hard and not too easy).
Section B – i think it was hard (price equation, throughput accounting, mix/yield variance).
Seciont C- First Q which i was stopped due to technical issue i found too hard. Outsource and Product.Did anyone get the question about Gold Account in section A about the life cycle PROFIT instead of life cycle cost?
That was a wtf moment for mekish200 wrote:Did anyone get the question about Gold Account in section A about the life cycle PROFIT instead of life cycle cost?

That was the worst question for me, I didn’t manage to finish it and I think I did bad on that one.What is Brakers Co about ? Which topic ?
Yes, the Life cycle profit it states that it has 1000 customer ,but decrease to 500 after first year, i couldnt do it at all ,simply answered, i think i put $12.50?kish200 wrote:Yes i got the question with the variances for liters
What were the variances
For me it was the cost of diverting the labour + contribution lost. 500h by $20+ $4 contribution. Remember it was $8 contribution for 2 hours. So my answer there was $12.000.
Section A and C(rolling budget and balanced scorecard) are fair and normal. The amount of info in section B(throughput and limiting factor) was overwhelming. Even if you were able to get through it, would have taken a lot of your time. Absolutely unnecessary!

What was the contribution figure in limiting factor
Yes kish200 i got the question on lifecycle profit a very long one i took the $12.5
When I entered the exam class I had two types of computer screen on my desk: one with big diagonal size, the other one with smaller. Guess which one we had to use? We are learning about big data and cloud computing, but we are working on screen size like in the 90’s:-).
I started with section A, then went to Section C where I lost a big part trying to arrange the screen for reading and working the answers and in the end in section B, which was a bit challenging, the remaining time was not enough.
I had prepared myself for this exam, but after the end, I left with the feeling that I didn’t manage to show it in the real time. I will be happy to pass the exam!
Does anyone remember the true or false questions?, the one with 4 statements.
Also the labor time per unit…the learning curve one (80%, 24 minutes for the first unit, -0.3214 index I think), options were 9,8,6 and…7 can’t recall the fourth option.Ry4n on the question with learning curve my answer was 6. Which was 5 something i rounded to 6. Learning effect after 26th unit. So i calculated the 25th one and the 26th deducted to see the diffrence.
Section c who else got, variances a whole table already formated ,and second transfer pricing,i couldn’t do it bcoz of time that’s a good marks just gone
Yes, this was my 2nd attempt and I feel like went much worse than in September..
Sect A was okay, section b material mix and yield variances were fine but throughput and other qs ( now don’t even remember what it was) very hard.. overwhelming with too much info)
Sect c got 3 EE’s re hospital and relevent costing – answered some parts but overall I don’t feel confident.
