December 6, 2013 at 5:51 pm #151219acca should publish the results on 8jan. -.-” so that student can prepare earlier for next paper. what paper are you taking @neilsolaris @clevergirl , im taking F7 and F9 this sitting, and planning on F8 and P2 for next sitting
December 6, 2013 at 5:52 pm #151220I got:
a NPV of 3947.26 for Q1-a, NPV of 4029.63 for Q1-b(i made error here). Ke=12.66 Q2-a( i made a mistake here too),Kd=5.17, WACC 11.434, CAPM 8.21% equity finance only,7.98% taking the effect of debt.

Q4. under purchase cost=778,525. under lease option cost=679,985.December 6, 2013 at 5:52 pm #151221@bonura92 i did the same thing, can’t confirm since im not the examiner 🙂
December 6, 2013 at 5:53 pm #151223you are correct
December 6, 2013 at 5:54 pm #151224Thansk 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”
December 6, 2013 at 5:54 pm #151226omg 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.
December 6, 2013 at 5:57 pm #151228nizarsalleh, 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!
December 6, 2013 at 5:59 pm #151230That’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?
December 6, 2013 at 6:00 pm #151231I 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. 🙂December 6, 2013 at 6:01 pm #151233the 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)
December 6, 2013 at 6:02 pm #151234Lol i tried to ungear it but messed up the formula and B equity i ended up was 1.6, same as given in the question so i gladly used it 😀
December 6, 2013 at 6:03 pm #151235@nizarsalleh What p level subjects you going to take if you clear both exams?
December 6, 2013 at 6:03 pm #151236It must be useful having a sister whos an affiliate. I just have to rely on John (or whoever is the tutor here!).
December 6, 2013 at 6:05 pm #151238damn Q4 a)i did something very stupid i found the leasing option and then added it to the original cost of the investment does that mean i will loose the whole 10marks?
December 6, 2013 at 6:07 pm #151239I’m sure you get marks per correct working Abi, so I think you’ll be ok.
December 6, 2013 at 6:07 pm #151240@umerkhayam im taking F8 and P2. if i know F8 would be easy this semester, i would take F8.
@neilsolaris i seldom ask her question, as her major is in taxation, only in june 13 when i took F6. did you cleared f8? how did you study for it? any tips?December 6, 2013 at 6:10 pm #151242F8 is Audit? I am doing that too!!!!
December 6, 2013 at 6:10 pm #151243@neilsolaris i hope so..
December 6, 2013 at 6:10 pm #151244To 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!
December 6, 2013 at 6:13 pm #151246@I’ve all others cleared so if i clear both 7 and 9 then i might go for 3 p level exams.
December 6, 2013 at 6:14 pm #151248It 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)
December 6, 2013 at 6:16 pm #151250Just 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?
December 6, 2013 at 6:16 pm #151251can anyone tell me where should initial investment of 2000000 should be in yr0 or yr1??
December 6, 2013 at 6:17 pm #151252@Mahoysam i thought i had done well but comments on this thread show different story 😛 Lol
