EPSM Unit 8 Accountancy Costs

There is an EPSM forum here https://opentuition.com/forum/ask-acca-tutor-forums/acca-ethics-and-professional-skills-module There are several threads that refer to unit 8 - https://opentuition.com/topic/acca-ethics-and-professional-skills-module-unit-7-unit-8-2 - if the task asks for "effect" - bear in mind that you should be calculating a difference/increment.

I originally calculated 25% all of the payroll total (all staff included), but re-reading it I have only included 25% to the remaining payroll staff costs (not including HOA). Is this where I made a mistake?

Hi Kim, I tried all I could do, but still can not pass the first question of Accountancy Department costs. Could you please help me out with this? Head of accounting 70 Fully qualified (FQ) = 45 *1.1*1.25 * 2(FQ) = 123.75 Part qualified (PQ) = 30*1.1*1.25*3(PQ) = 123.75 Accounting technicians (T) = 20*1.1*1.25*4(T)=110 Total Salary costs will be $ 427.5K Amortisation of non-current assets 80 Accounting admin costs: materials and variable overheads 160 Accounting staff costs** 427.5 Total Accounting Department cost: $667.5K But the answer is still not correct, could you please tell me where I did wrong? Thanks

By collaborating, the parties have the greatest prospect of arriving at a position acceptable to both, while ‘smoothing’ over the issues will just defer them to a later date. The approach least likely to end up in a win-win is the ‘compete’ strategy as it involves confrontation and this usually ends up in a win-lose outcome. Seem the answer is Collaborating, why it verdict me incorrect? I wish I can post the snapshot here to show your that.

As I said on my previous post, there is a separate forum for EPSM https://opentuition.com/forum/ask-acca-tutor-forums/acca-ethics-and-professional-skills-module If this is something in the final assessment, I do not have access to that.
