*** F5 June 2014 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments ***

Not stressing, it’s just interesting to work out how you might have done.

@ ANTON i dont know how you calculated yours but based on minutes if you derived your constraints from that the there was demand constraint for both products xeno and yogo
if you plotted your lines correctly using a appropriate scale what you should of found is your fesable reigon bounded by the contraints was the area under the lines if u then drew ur iso contribution line pushed it out to the furthest point what you should of found is the furthest point(optimum point) was the point at which the demand for product y the line intersects the build stage line. the equation of the lines were y=6600 and cant remember form the top of my head the equation for the build stage. just solve them simultaneously get the max amount of products for x and y sub into the contribution objective/function w/e u wish to call it which was i think something like c=30x+40y
u get ur max contribution deduct the fc for the quater u get the profit 14 marks in bag.

ABC question couldn’t of have had been any easier for me not even boasting. Considering i done all costing methods except environmental.

variances how ever my calculations would be right only if my contribution per unit was right for the valets i just multiplied the selling prices by the c/s ratio given as a percentage. then the way i calculated them were slightly different to the techinques given in the exam past paper solutions on acca’s website. but i did get 1130f for full vallet and 1130adverse for mini vallet. giving me a total sales mix varince of 6554 adverse and for sales qunatity i got 1530 f for full vallet and 850f for mini vallet. giving me a total sales quantity variance of 48144f
then i calculated the sales volume variance being 41590f in total for both services.
netting of both advanced sales variances of sales mix and yield i got 41590f. so on this base my answer should be correct. but this base is was the contribution per unit right for both products.

If we calculate a wrong variance or a wrong cost and we commented on it according to our answer will we still get marks or not?

Yes Mo i have to give F9 on Friday but couldn’t really concentrate!

Ahmed-To be honest with you specfically talking about Q5 Part c) the disscussion was for i think 10 marks in which the requirment stated something along the lines disscuss the performance of sales lalala using ur calculations to part a) AND …… AND the information provided in the scenario. so im taking a guess 5 marks for disscussion on ur calculations and 5 marks from the information provided in ur scenario if u answer the discussion part well u should atleast get 5/10 for that requirment based on the fact that u did make some really good points from the information provided.

i have a question to ask to everyone did anyone flex the budget for part c Q5?

Thanks for your insight!! I guess we’ll have to wait till the results then no point discussing all that is done and dusted! The answers are usually posted 2 weeks before the results so we would have some idea till then ! :/

wthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@’ you had to complete the graphh in blackk pen?????? i completed it with pencil labeld every thing every single thing on the graphhh with black pen. before i started the graph i asked the invigilator she said draw in pencill and label with blackk penn????????????/ i labeled everything with black pen would that make a difference???????

wthhhhh is wrong with these lecturers since when in ur entire life in the uk have u ever been expected to draw a freaking graph with pen you always draw graph’s in pencils? yes labelling you could do with black pen.?!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????/ grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Guys,
Can anyone suggest that,
The possible outcome the question needed 6 only but I calculated more than that will I gain some mark?

I saw lots of people with different colour pens, i only bring black just incase i forget and start answering in blue ink or pencil.

No highlighter even, I just underline / make notes in black ink on question paper, you dont need 5-6 different colour pens for ACCA exam.

Also so many people with no ruler.

i so agree with your sentiments it was easy as well as time was a very important factor

Hi Michael,got the same answer for linear programing and i was very confident,dont know where i did wrong though..
