@chris 2400hrs s the total time stylists are expected to work for the year i.e 8 hrs a day, 6 days a wk,50 wks a year. Why r u multiplying by 3?
Either way on the 20 kilo it’s 1 mark out of 100 at most so still happy days. Loved this paper.
Suggest we wait for Mr Moffat to post his answers to TPAR ratio rather than wasting our unproductive time going too and fro!!If you had 1 machine available for 100 hours and this was bottleneck, surely 3 machines would mean total time available on bottleneck would be 300 hours?

Guess we would wait then cos it doesn’t seem logical that you multiply the time for ALL stylists by 3 though I agree with u on the mats bit
From what I remember
50 required:All in stock, therefore all sunk costs, however 30 need replacing in 2 weeks time therefore 8.5 x 30
The 20 need replacing too however not for 4 weeks therefore 8.2 x 20
Relevant cost of 425, that’s what I did.
James – thanks for the support too!! Never mind the theory of ‘loads of people made it “x” so it must be right’!!!
I agree coolchihc.
Let’s wait and see. Not an easy one either way. It’s the question i left until last. Very happy with the mcq’s though. Think a lot easier than bpp texts or Kaplan and less ambiguous too. Number ones were pretty simple without too many curveballs.From memory it’s not long after the paper is available online from acca. Not sure how long that takes though?
Chris, it seems you got it right on tpars, but you were wrong on getting d and b, because you should have looked at contribution analysis, but not bottleneck analysis
Must admit the same!
Study with Kaplan and there way exam kit was a lot more difficult than the questions today’s.Not as bad as I thought!
Is there somebody who does the answers on here soon then?
All mats were in continued use and all need replacing. D & b we’re correct from contribution per labour hour – as most people are saying!lol!!!
From memory contribution was $24 for d and $5.25 per labour hour. Again,
We’ll wait to see what mr m says to see who’s correct.I clearly remember and still visualize the sentence which told that 20 are not useful. Secondly, i have calculated contribution many times just to check, and got totally different answers from yours. Also, majority here is for A and D as well
Ps my answer was based on return per labour hour (being the bottleneck resource) on the mcq.
Do you agree on feedforward control and that issue with strategic planning though?
Fair play Natalia.
That one may have got past me…damn them. Look forward to answers being posted!!I calculated profit for D and A and than for D and B, the first were higher
without any additional calculationsDefo on feed forward. Some of those answers were crazy ‘double loop back something’!!!!
Chris, there was mot a bottleneck resource. There was just a shortage. This constitutes the difference in calculations
