    What about the mcqs?
    Is it 2 for the graph in McQ ?
    And the tactical and operational question is it first one tactical, and the second one operational?

    Do you think acca will be ‘ridiculous’ again in next March and Sept. sittings?

    Yes you are right. The first is tactical and the second is operational.

    The last 3 mcqs are lengthy.

    I have to say that F5 Sep 2015 was tough. Examiner has set MCQ to examin more than one topics within each question. That was very clever. However too long scenarios for MCQs worth 2 marks only made more difficult to manage the time.
    Part B was crazy and It felt like questions are open to interpretation.
    This exam costs £90 on average and not providing graph paper is just stingy.

    What did everyone get for the shadow price one?
    And also the selling price where demand is zero?
    Revalant costing one, where some labour was refusing to work, for 10 hours?

    I can’t remember but the price is 35 (from formula) which could lead demand to be 0.

    P=a-bq
    MR=a-2bq=35-Q/50 (provided by the question) so a=35 – demand is 0

    For the weighted contribution, did we take out the % of fixed cost from labour?

    MR=35-Q/50
    So P=35-Q/100

    Set Q=0,
    P=35

    hope you are right because i got 35 too, although it seemed far too straight forward to be correct, so I ended up dwelling on it.

    Don’t be panic! Trust yourself!

    There are several easy questions in MCQ section so we should feel we are lucky!

    The ACCA will not be publishing the whole of the September exam, and not until after the December exam anyway.

    “With the introduction of the four exam sessions, we will continue to publish the same number of exams, two per year, and at the same times, after the December and June exam sessions.

    These exams will be compiled from questions selected by the examining team from the two preceding sessions. That is, they will not reflect the entire September or December exam, for example, but will contain questions most appropriate for students to practice. “

    The ACCA announced after the June exams that they will no longer be publishing either the exam questions or the answers. Without the questions we cannot provide suggested answers.

    Hi John

    Would you be able to answer my question earlier?

    I briefly mentioned that for sales price/volume variance analysis (for both operational and planning), i used the standard selling price instead of the standard contribution.

    Would I gain any credit here – it was a 8 mark question 🙁

    Thanks a lot!

    I had 40 for relavant cost, I thought the 70$ was sunk as we would employ then anyway!

    I can’t wait to see what the pass rate is. I’m guessing it will be less than June’s 37%! If I don’t make it this time (I do think I have probably just scraped through despite having messed up the minimax regret question), I’ll give it more one try. If I don’t pass then, I quit!

    My second time taking this exam and I have to say after all the work I put in I was totally baffled by this paper? The MCQ questions were too long, and Section B was very confusing in parts. Very disappointed with this sitting.

    That’s what I picked. I hadn’t heard of it, but it seemed the logical answer.

    Since the labours are on full capacity it is the opportunity cost lost contribution plus variable cost of labour
