    thats the trick with all questions. 99% you are likely to get one of the answers from calculations, even if they are not right, happens to me a lot and I guess everyone

    I just said one for each…

    So innovation and learning, I said to do with ensure they try to improve the time in which they load there planes etc…

    For customers, was the cleaning satisfaction.

    Also for the financial, to try and improve the amount of passengers, and for the internal was the staff absenteeism rate.

    At the time I thought I was on the right lines however not so sure now!

    So did I 🙂 I think it wasn’t so hard, but I had very little time left so answers were very brief.

    b was buying for 165 but a was making for 100 so to company cost was 100 since a is part of company, now they had to buy for 140 so 40 dollars contribution lost per unit, 2200 units x 40 dollars means 88000 less contribution means less profit, but there was saving of 10000 specific expense so 88000-10000= 78000 less prpfit

    It’s not the problem of mix, as it was even more expensive, thus qualiti didn’t become worth. Should search for sales volume decrease elsewhere

    I wrote that his criticism was right and reasonable. In september they got Fav, volume variance, but in Oct they got an adverse one. This means sales quantities declined as compared to what they budgeted. Plus sales manager had strong arguments about customers complaints.

    I went down those sort of lines too, didn’t right that much. I assume a mark for identification and one for explanation?

    I think with MCQ is you either know the answer or you don’t.

    you can just simply be gassing in your exam. you either get 2 or 0

    anyways talking about the exam now is pointless!!

    I remember some questions.
    MCQ 1- both divisions should accept investmenr (RI positive)
    MCQ- life cycle cost-all has to be included
    MCQ- operational and management – both were correct
    MCQ- question about what is a cost driver was false and i dont remember the other one.
    MCQ-target costin first step is set selling price and the last calculate cost gap
    MCQ-input/output cost was correct
    MCQ one about shadow price the calculation was 8.5(dhadow price)*20kg
    MCQ- it was one about penetration price, and i answered as correct: economies, short lyfe cycle and barrier for new entrants.
    MCQ- one was about the different standarts, the correct one (for me) was basic standart because it remains unchanged.
    MCQ- the answer was negative feedback
    MCQ-transfer pricing decrease of 78 in revenue.

    Q1,
    New learning rate is 70%and as it is lower than the original learning rate it takes more time to produce one chair so the cost will be higher.

    Q2. I think the maximum customer that stylist can attend were 9,6 customers and TPAR was 1,22 for cuts and i dont remember for treatments.

    Q3-relevant cost around 9000

    Q4. First part it was ok but the second….. It drive me crazy. For the customer perspective was the cleaning satisfaction, for innovation offer new services (book the seats and two more),efficiency perspective was reduce fligh cancels and i dont remember for financial perspective

    Q5. Mix variance 5000 adverse and yield favourable.

    Lower learning curve states, that the chairs will be produced faster – thus they will be cheaper

    I thought the exam was far today. However, I am unlikely to pass as I only covered half the syllabus due to spending all my time on tax which is tomorrow. Not feeling great about it either. Need to get my head down and start studying now instead of leaving it until 2-3 weeks before the exams.

    I agree with feed forward control & they described cost flow accounting not inflow/outflow

    I got this too, thought only div a was worth it which was A I think.
    Target profit of 60000, think I got 23,000 units, that really confused me a little.
    The ABC I got 46.25 I think. Feed forward control, too
