hi guys .m thinking to take f5 and f6 in june..how long i should require to prepare these two? is it possible to prepare both in 3 months???
Hi I did F4 and F5 this quarter.. Even considering the fact that F4 was CBE, I was really struggling to find time to prepare for F5 properly.. I passed F4, but I am really unsure about F5.. I do not think that doing two exams per quarter is a good idea, especially if you work full time. Have you seen the size of F6 book?
Unless you can do it full time I would not risk it…
Hello what book and resources did you use for f4 and f5? Im planning to do f4 soon
Learning curve MCQ:
A product takes 10 minutes to make on first attempt but has a learning rate of 80%.
It is estimated that the learning rate will apply for the first 100 attempts then the time per unit will remain constant. Calculate the amount of time it will take to produce each unit after the first 100 attempts.Average time per unit to make 100 units is 2.27 (2 dp)
Average time per unit to make 99 units is 2.27 (2 do)
Therefore the answer must be 0.1 mins per unit

ROI must have been simple but this is much of finacial accounting .how you calculate accounting profit. The patent have to be armotised baesd on expected production with the year where units were more taking the bigger part. Not sure about the relevant and irrelavant costs. but there were tricks to this question. But on average this is much of financial accounting
Hi, how about Lost contribution? Should it be added as the whole cost of life cicle?
I added but I think it was wrong, life cycle doesnt deal with lost contributions.

What is the section of the site called ?Hi there,
It was on one of their technical articles I believe.
Can someone please explain their reasons for dividing $42 per hour standard labour by 3 hours for the labour question (Q5)? The formula for labour rate planning variance is (standard wage rate – revised wage rate) x actual labour hours used; so why divide $42 by 3 hours? 3 hours were used in total to make one pair of shoe.
My answer for labour rate planning variance was ($42 – $42.84) x 37000 total hours used = $31080A

You have to divide $42 by 3 hours to obtain the hourly rate of pay. If it costs $42 for 3 hours work, then it will take $14 for 1 hour, and this $14 figure is the hourly rate which will need to be used.
From what I understand of variances, you will have to use the hourly pay rate in the formulas for labour variances, so it is the rate per hour, not per unit.The hourly pay rate is the “wage rate” which is to be used in the formula you have mentioned.

@Shoj. I did exactly the same thing you did throughout my variance workings and everything was Perfect! but somehow dividing by 3 actually seems right however our answers just might score half marks for knowing the technique at least. it sucks realizing it now but lets keep our fingers crossed.- Topics: 0

the question gave you the rate per hour which is $42. so why do you have to divide it by again to get $14?
Was it per hour? If so, it is a relief. I took it per hour and didn’t divide by 3. But if it was per unit, sure, it should have been divided.
Trust, it was on a per hour basis. Questions would always give you a standard rate per hour. This is what is bewildering, the fact that some people have divided it by 3 hours. I can only assume some people did this because one of the past papers was done in this manner (DEC 2012 Q2); but this was done on a per batch basis. However, I can clearly remember that each pair of shoe took labour of $42 per hour. This was not the labour cost for 3 hours, otherwise yes you would have to divide it by 3 hours to get the standard rate per hour.

It took 3 hrs and the standard cost was 42.
Standard cost = hours * rate
In variances the formula is
Efficiency = actual units * standard hours per unit…in this case it was 3
Rate = actual hours * standard rate
It is not Times the actual cost per unit. You use the standard cost to find the overall variance…however that variance can be evaluated into separate componentsLabour efficiency + Labour rate

Like what Saph said, the standard labour rate should be used not the standard cost of labour.

similar question can be found in kaplan chapter 10 test your understanding 10. THERE IS NO NEED TO DIVIDE IT BY 3 AS IT WAS STATED IN THE QUESTION THAT THE STANDARD RATE PER HOUR IS 42. if not then how come when i finished with the operational and planning variance they added up to the labour rate and efficiency variance in A?
It did not say standard rate was 42.. it said standard Cost was 42 . Those are two very different things.

it was standard rate not standard cost

this is the question…….
original standards were labour rate was $42/ hour and each pair took 3hours to make 12000pairs therefore in total 36000 hours were budgeted for and actual pairs being 12600 pairs for 37000 hours. the efficiency variance, the standard hours would be found by finding out how many hours 12600 pairs would have taken. i.e ((12600x3hrs/pair) and comparing it with actual 37000hrs)) x std rate $42/hour.
