    @ joce practice past exam papers in 3 hours exam conditions. If you can answer 4 questions in 3 hours at home, you will be able to do it in exam.

    Challenge yourself in answering 25 marks question in 15 min. Do it over & over again until you polished your computational & writing skills.

    Plan your exam answering structure. Remember no plan means, confusion, nervousness and ultimately disaster.

    Finally take exam as a battle.
    1 ) know your strengths ( syllabus areas where you feel confident )

    2) Cash in your strength by practising.

    3) Know your enemy I.e the examiner, find about him, his comments, his exam reviews and most importantly his articles. I.e if he is saying all 4 questions to be attempted he expecting you to attempt all 4. ( this does not mean that answering 3 questions won’t get you pass marks, he is looking for quality not quantity )

    Wish you best of luck.

    Thanks John for your answers, could you please explain why you didn’t include the overdraft in the formula while compute the sales over net working capital ratio in question 2? As I think net working capital is current assets less current liabilities. Thanks again

    izphil: If you are meaning that I should have accounted for tax in the WACC calculation, then no – the tax relief on the interest is already accounted for in the calculation of the cost of debt.

    (I know it appears in the WACC formula on the formula sheet, but that formula only works as it is written when there is irredeemable debt. If it is redeemable (as in this question) then the tax is taken into account when working out the cost of debt)

    Omar: the working capital is inventory + receivables – payables.
    The overdraft is part of how the working capital is being financed.

    Thanks John for your reply, please check the examiner answers of June 2013 question 3, (ii) At present, the current ratio is 1,804,900/1,504,100 = 1·20 times. The current net working capital is $300,800 (copied). Where the current liabilities were payables of 1326600 and the overdraft was 177500, Thanks again.

    Omar, normally I would agree with you. However in the context of this question I think it more relevant to exclude the overdraft.
    (To be fair, I am sure that the examiner will allow it either way.)

    Thanks John. For Q4a I calculated growth in EPS using yearly EPS to two decimal places I.e
    EPS year1 $1
    EPS year2 $1.03
    EPS year2 $1.06

    Growth = 2 under root 1.06 -1 = 0.0295 or 2.9%

    Is this still taken as correct answer?

    Hi John,

    Thanks for you answers, I approached Q1 slightly differently with regards to variable costs. I assumed the increase was a forecast change in price or that period so from Y1 to Y2 the increase was 25 and not subject to inflation for that period. I then used this as a base for the next period in inflated this total. So essentially I was only inflating last years amount.

    For year 2 calculation was ((472.50 * 1.05) + 25 year increase = 521.13 variable per unit; this was my base for inflating the next years prices.

    Is this totally wrong? My view is its down to interpretation of the forecasts. I also wrote a note of my assumption.

    How many marks would I lose do to this different calculation method?

    Your thought would be greatly appreciated.

    Zee: You do not usually lose marks for roundings. (Although the EPS in year two is $1.07 to two decimal places, not $1.06)

    James: I am a bit puzzled because you write about variable costs, but the figures you are stating are the selling prices.
    I am afraid that have interpreted it wrongly because the question clearly states that the figures are before taking account of inflation. You should therefore have dealt with it the way that I have done in my answer.

    You will lose marks as a result. However, don’t panic – each bit of your workings is marked separately, and you do not lose marks twice for making the same mistake twice.

    The paper was nearly okay but the time allocated was little to complete all the questions.
