    I think it was a fair exam, but just nothing like any of the past papers or the revision I’d been doing, crazy!

    I felt like the exam was very similar to questions in BPP revision kit.

    I remember some of mcq: 1st : only division A would accept the investment, breakeven sales in other question : 18,….?, do not employ the manager as the loss would be 1300 and to produce all and only D components. I think for second MCQ I had a B , for 3th A and for 4th D:>
    Q1, new learning curve 70 %, time for 8th unit 3.05 hr to produce, Q2 tpar around 70% for both of them, \q4 – balanced score card was the most difficult as i didn’t expect it as a long question ….

    i think the exam was fair.

    for MCQ some were straightforward and on others application of knowledge.
    hoping to do well.

    Balance scored card was good, i think the hardest question was Q1 2nd part i just totally zoned out.

    amyways cant do anything now…

    move on to F8!!

    I had a lot of “b” answers on the MCQ questions… But I think it was a fair exam but question 4….it almost drived me crazy because it was only one question about balance card on the whole revision BPP kit.

    MCQ: 1. Only division A
    Breakeven sales – above 18k units
    Go on producing products A and D
    Lifecycling costing – all components are included
    Target costing – start with selling price, then estimate profit
    Dont hire manager – expected -1300
    Shadow price – increase on 16$

    Why everyone saying than both TAPRs was less than 1 ? I got both more than one … Total hours should be multiplied by 3 as 3 seniors right ? New rate 70% which indicates they learned quicker hm ? Also 1th question they asked for residual income and not ROI I think both should accept the project…. then do not employed manager ’cause 1300 lost… those variances were simple or did I miss anything?

    When choosing D and B – did you take in account, that there is small demand for B, and thus even to produce for all the demand – there will be available hours left?
