I put the one that was with two…

Same here.

I couldn’t remember the formula but you could work it out, by doubling up all the way to 128, and since 128 and 64 were both in the 2 hours marks, it had to be that one.

But learning rate was 80% why you used .95?
Shouldn’t be .80?

Was there a full patent cost given?

I can not even remember.. I know i multiplied the renewal cost of 200,000 times 2

The patent cost was $200,000 and cost $500,000 to get the contract started.

I used only two lots of $200,000 as it seemed unfair to assign costs that wouldn’t be related to that product.

The question stated that the company was going to continue making even better shoes, so I figured using all 10 years on just that one product was incorrect. Happy (ish) to be proven wrong, though,

MCQ I totally forget what I did, disaster ?
Okay.
Go to section B question 1, same with u all I choose 4 batches, but didn’t what is the correct method to do it.
Qustion 2 life cycle costing and Question 3 ROI I think is the most easier question in this paper. But only 20 marks ?
Question 4, balanced scorecard, I only remember the 4 perspective…
Question 5, variance ! It is reallyyyyy complicated.

I hope I can pass, but it seem difficult ?

Haha, me neither.

Contingent, relationship and a couple of others. I went with relationship.

I put conventional I was between relationship but conventional smiled more at the end 😛

Taken from the ACCA site;

“image and relationship costs: costs that, by their nature, are intangible, for example, the costs of preparing environmental reports.”

That to me reads as though relationship would be right but mine was a guess, anyway.

I only attributed one years renewal as it would only have had to have been renewed once in 2 years

i like your logic on that one… my logic said that they were all valid which obviously wasn’t correct so i excluded internet usage policy and segregation of duties and just went for “electronic options”

I think 2.27 some thing..
