    Thansk nizarsalleh. For the first three Islamic Finance I just remembers mur, mush, mud = trade credit, venture capital, equity, and sort of made up the rest of the words as best I could!

    For working capital I did exactly what ruddy 1985 did, which was “multiply by 10% of revenue for yr1 and deduct incremental amount in yr2 and yr3 and recover w/capital in yr 4”

    omg how do u manage to remember all the figures, ahahaha,

    well, for the CAPM on new venture part, the 75% of quity and 25%debt. anyone calculate the asset beta like 75% divide the sum of 75% and 25%(1-0.3) . does taxation included when calculating using percentage.

    nizarsalleh, I’m just planning to take P1 next time. Assuming I pass F9, I’ve finished the fundamental level. I just take one exam at a time, because I work in a completely different business sector, and ACCA for me is sort of like a hobby, and a safety net if I need to change careers!

    What about yourself? Or did you say? I’ll scroll back in a second!

    That’s what I did too nizarselleh, regarding the CAPM formula with percentages.

    I think I may have misread the question, so I finished that part of the question after I had worked out the cost of equity using the ungeared CAPM. But we were supposed to calculate the new WACC were we?

    I totally skipped Riba (I read all others except this one and it comes up 🙁 ) And I didn’t know how to do capm with equity beta so left that. Lost all together 9% 🙁 Oh well, I am hoping I pass though, I feel good 🙂


    @Nizarsalleh
    , I did this with F5!!! Next I am going to do last F paper of Audit and move onto P papers. 🙂

    the requirement states that calculate the project-specific-cost, so i suppose we calculate the CAPM only.

    ya i mentioned before. i see, well, it’s nice to have 2 qualifications 🙂 . i entered acca when i finished my high school, and my sister is an acca affiliate (not a member yet)

    To be honest, I’m a very slow learner, but because I only do one paper per six months, it has plenty of time to sink in. I’ve no idea how you guys do 2, 3 or more papers per session, I could never cope with that.

    As with all papers though, I went through the BPP practice and revision kit for F8 about 5 or 6 times, and the same kind of questions come up time and time again, and eventually I remember them.

    By the way, audit was much more interesting than I imagined it would be!

    It was a good paper, I feel a I have a good chance to pass!

    Question 4 was kind of weird though but I still managed to solve it in full. I think I have done well in general!

    🙂 Done with all exams! FINALLY!

    Also, amazing who Mr John’s tips were very accurate! Almost most of the topics he predicted came! Amazing that Mr John is! I am gonna miss his lectures until I reach P4 and P5 (hopefully next December)! I am talking as if I passed F9 already lol! :0)

    Just to mention that I made a mistake by including the loan payments in the calculation for the buy option instead of including the cost of the machine which was $750,000 if I remember it correctly but yeah I included the maintenance costs and scrap value correctly. Will I get the marks for correctly inculding the maintenance costs and scrap value in the calculation or not?
