Hard paper it was really !!

what cameee

Babar me also pass this in last dec 2012 attempt.

How many papers u pass and which papers u attempt this session?

- December 2013- 1) Further Processing with some EMA 2) Throughput accounting 3) Learning curve 4) Financial performance of company 5) Material Planning and operational variance

easy question but no time to solve i finishd only 3 n haf question dnt belive on open tution j

total Hours in Throughtput Question? and Units Produced ? I got 1800 Units and 30 Units ....No idea they are correct !!

Q1 split off outsourced or futher processing.with trf pricg.3 products..with ema techniques explain 2 Q2 TPAR with trf pricing Q3 cant recollect this one Q4 fin, perf. indicators Q5 operational & planning (price & usage) variances

It was not that difficult but I really messed up with Question 2 on Throughput Accounting. I became so nervous that I forgot the formula of TPAR( haha I know this is silly) Question 1 was on Further Processing( 9 marks), transfer pricing( 6 marks) and Environmental Accounting( 5 marks) I had no idea about Environmental Accounting so just left the entire 5 marks :( Question 2, as I mentioned earlier, was on Throughput Account( 14 marks i think) which i am only expecting 3 or 4 marks maximum :( For the other 6 marks, I forgot what it was about but I was able to write something logical on it! Question 3 was on Learning Curve and preparing the budgets which I hope I did correct but I wasted more than 1 hour on it. I found it quite challenging :) Question 4 was quite okay. We were required to assess the performance of the Division and I think I wrote quite alot on it. Question 5, finally, was on the Planning and Operational Variances which I wasn't expecting at all. But I think I wasn't that difficult so I could do the 12 marks calculation in it. 8 marks were on the assessing the performance of the production manager which I think is easy enough! Overall, expect for Question 2(a), (b) and Question 1(c), the paper was alright. I hope I can pass it this time!!! How about you guys? Best of luck everyone :)

Did anyone get 1.1 and 1.43 TPAR??? Also variances were they F or A??? Please confirm answers.

How was Q4 on financial performance.. For me it was nt gud at all. Giving review of financial performance on basis of just profit statement is difficult.

this was the best F5 exam the examiner has ever set.

For further processing. Did anyone say YES to further processing the first 2 products and NO to the last one?

were are John Moffat's answers to the paper?

TPAR I got 1.48 and 1.1

Yes Alex, I did the same. Yes for L and M, and No for S

Thanks MFC.. feeling ever so slightly optimistic now

I got 1.48 and 1.1 and for hours 3333. so my output was full for large panel and 1345 something like that for small panel. Please confirm??

Gabriel: Exactly how do you expect answers when we do not see the questions until the exam is published on the ACCA website in a few days time?!

nap .... cz tey agreed to supply 1000 units of small panel

I had 3000 hours. 12 per day, 5 days per week, 50 weeks i had 1000 for small panels (guarenteed miniumum) at 600 hours and used the rest of the availble time (2400 hours) for the large panels (bottleneck 1.4 ) so 1714.29 large panels.
