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.

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.
