    My main concern is question 4 svorecard. Part 1 was acceptable, but i did not put enough effort for part 2 due to lack of time

    Yea I realised yesterday there was 3 seniors haha.

    Balance score card question was good.
    Financial
    Internal
    Innovation learning
    Customers

    and literally describe them

    Maximising shareholder wealth
    Process of the coming/ staff
    How well prepared for future, new products
    And reputation of company amongst customers

    Boom 6 marks

    Hi,

    While studying the topic it looked extremely easy…in the exam I was dumb struck 🙂
    I tackled it by applying to the quantities each equation and realized that the one at answer b was returning the cost stated in the question only for the lowest and the highest quantity..so..tadaaa..the answer:)

    I did add 10 parts of the apportion overhead.

    But I don’t think we were suppose to coz that would have been there regardless as it’s fixed cost. And only fixed costs which change get added on.

    I mean worse comes to worse probably lose 1 or maybe 2 marks

    The trick was that the supervisors salary which was fixed. So that would have been zero

    And plus the 20 hours which he spend at the price of 12 I think we’re incremental

    The biggest trick was the semi skilled labour I think the cheapest price was the firm providing 14 as they had to work overtime and there was no spare capacity

    Yeah, it was cheaper to buy labor from outside. Also, they told that out of 500 ms of wood, only 480 are used regularly, which means 20 we just use for our order, its relevant cost is zero ( like spare capacity) and you buy 30 ms in addition. Thats how i hot 9455
