PMF5 Exam tips – June 2012 sitting

hi ansi,
best wishes for your exams too.

updates:

ATC

• Be aware of the big difference between F2 and F5: you have to understand and discuss calculations rather than just do them.
• F5 requires a certain amount of interpretation. Practise these types of questions.
• Don’t get bogged down by the many different types of variance. The most important variances are the ‘basic’ ones, materials mix and yield varaiances, sales mix and quantity and planning.
• Show any workings. Provide your main answer first, with workings underneath


BPP

• Environmental accounting techniques.
• ABC.
• CVP or dealing with risk and uncertainty.
• Budget appropriateness and behavioural impacts.
• Mix and yield variances, planning, operational, as well as basic variances.

@batholomew

Environmental accounting will be a written segment. Use the Open tuition notes and basically memorise them. This will be enough for the exam. Maximum marks available for this topic is 8 if it gets examined.

Financial/Non Financial performance analysis will definitely be examined as it wasn't in last sittings and is normally at every sitting.

thanks for the tips. they are really useful.

thanx ansi for the updates ....i wish this will be useful for exam...finger crossed

I just want to get 50 percent lol wht to do???

What should I focus on for this last few days?

COULD U SOLVE THE QUESTION PLEASE ' YEAR 1 GROSS PROFIT MARGIN 40, SELLING PRICE IS $10. IN YEAR 2 SELLING PRICE IS FALL 5%. SO WHAT WILL BE GROSS PROFIT MARGIN FOR YEAR 2'

Selling price is $10 and gross profit margin is 40%.

Year 2:
Selling price falls 5% to $9.5
Therefore, gross profit will be ($9.5 X 40%) = $3.8

Hi, does anyone know how accurate these "tips" usually are?
