    I just realised that I misinterpreted the “variable cost” in question 4A. I used $12*100,000 plus $11 * the units above 100,000, instead of using just $11 for all units where production is above 100,000 units. Do u think I will get any marks in question 4A,4B and 4C…I have been having sleepless nights as a result of this. Kindly reply

    As far as i know you are only penalised once for mistake. ACCA introduces method marking scheme. If the wrong figure is correctly used in further calculations u still have some credit.

    olanrewaju: seagoat is correct – you do not lose marks twice for the same mistake.

    seagoat: thank you for answering, but please do not answer in this forum – it is Ask the Tutor and you are not the tutor 🙂
