    Also, @junaid98 *I think* that you should only be marked down once for an incorrect calculation.
    So any comments and further calculations gain marks if they are correct but based on an incorrect calculation.

    Well I certainly hope so…

    @katiewebb in Sec C qstn 2 part a or first part were we supposed to calculate gearing using book values or market values.

    @HJohns I can’t fully remember the question but I’m sure it didn’t mention market value so I done the book value? How about you?

    @katiewebb I did the market values. I used the market values given on rights issue. I think market value per share was $1.20. Book value per share was $0.5. There was also market value of debt (mkt value per 100 of bond) but I can’t remember the market value of each 100 bond. But I know I did the wrong thing because someone said the question was similar to the one in the December 2023 mock and book values were used.

    @crapants, my mind has gone blank on the TAD part, I don’t remember the wording of the asset value.

    But why would there be TAD on the depn, it was a not for profit organisation. So for the lease I didn’t include any tax payments. So why would we do WDV for year 4 buying the asset

    But I think your answer is right because you had a 4k diff which makes sense when doing buyvlease. There was always a small diff not a massive diff.

    @crapants, did you get a WACC question too?

    @junaid98 I think I am confusing the matter.
    There was no tad, as you say it was a not for profit organisation.

    But the way I read the question was that the value on disposal of the vehicle, in year 4, would be equal to the depreciated value at this point.
    I am now doubting my reading of the question was correct.

    I did get a wacc question but had left little time for it and rushed through.
    I managed to work through to get an answer that was around 13%
    I’m just hoping to pick up some marks on the second part of section c

    @HJohns tbh by the time I got to that question my head went blank and I sat there for about 20 mins before I attempted the questions so I believe I completely messed it up. I know I done well on the npv question found it quite simple but the nominal and real rate I think I spoke about them the wrong way around and section a and b I done poorly so believe it will be a resit first out of 5 and gutted never felt I done so poorly in any of my other exams

    @crapants, I see what you mean, it could have been that but just don’t know why would they ask that when it’s NFP. If they did just a stupid requirement to see if we can do the calculation I guess.

    Your WACC was 13% should be right, I got that too, there was CUM div for ordinary shares and if I remeber they slipped in 20×7 instead of doing 20×6 for ordinary shares, remember any of this ?

    @crapants, also within the WACC there was share redemption, I didn’t take the share option I used the nominal loan note value instead

    For the WACC calculation, who used nominal value of loan notes instead of the share option?

    @junaid I was running out of time and knew I didn’t have time to calculate the share option so just ignored it.

    Not great but it meant I managed to finish my WACC calculation.
    Also I cannot remember if I used market or book value for the debt and equity.

    My brain was pretty done by that point. Fingers crossed for a pass.

    I had the same section C,
    Did you get that AgeAid purchase PV was cheaper? I did but the the next question seemed to imply lease was cheaper
