@acca9898 i didn’t get that question in my PM exam sorry
@sokkit I had those exact questions too. The bags and travel company
environmental impact of over sees travel.
quality of the product they produce not being up to standard.
delays travelling through foreign borders.
that’s what I put down
The 10 marker in Section C on Gears and Brakes made no sense at all to me.
They gave us the yearly production, and the total costs associated to it.
The brakes’ Direct Labour Cost was 125,000 while the Gears’ Direct Labour Cost was 250,000.
Then the case study said that Direct Labour Cost was limited to 375,000.Then they said that a new client wants 20,000 Brakes and 20,000 Gears; the case study specifically says that this would be on top of all the other production. They can alternatively import this from overseas.
But if production is limited by Direct Labour costs being 375,000, and the new client wants production on top of it, then surely ALL of the gears and brakes for the new client have to be outsourced to overseas? The normal production already takes up the Direct Labour Cost limit (125,000 + 250,000 = 375,000). So there is no room to make 20,000 gears and 20,000 brakes.
If anyone could explain where I’m wrong above that would be great!Both section A and B was hard
Section C was better about relevant costing and performance for airlinedoes anyone remember the relevant costing mcq in section A? We had to find the relevant cost of material?
and for the total material mix variance in section A, there were options of $240 favorable, $400 adverse, $400 favorable and $240 adverse, what did you guys choose?
and for the throughput ot case did you guys choose 450 units for optimum production? and 2.0 as the TPAR?
Mine were totally different. I had the Bicycle company and the Balanced Scoreboard of the Car company
Mine were totally different. I had the Bicycle company (Gears & Breaks)… I too did not understand what I needed to do there and the Balanced Scoreboard of the Car company which was not bad
For the Gears and Brakes question:
Yes they were at full capacity but the question stated they would be doing their normal production as well as the contract. So you had to calculate whether Brakes or Gears were more expensive to purchase, per labour hour. Whichever was more expensive to purchase, you would make as many as possible in-house and then whatever combination was left you would outsource.
Hi all, did somebody here get the mcq on the Trend function T=6000+9y and we got to calculate the quarterly variation and the nr of units for the 11th quarter? I know this is more of MA question and I didn’t revise the time series but how did you calculate it? Thanks
So am i the only one who got Budgeting for the 1st question in section “c”? The 2nd one was the building block model. looks i got the lucky end of the stick.
Even I couldn’t understand what they were specifically asking us to do like production is already at it’s full capacity of course we are going to buy everything from Lithium Co but according to me this question was probably based on Make or buy decisions with limiting factor. I did not want to leave the excel sheet empty so I did the procedure relating to this topic just in case that was what you were actually meant to do.
I’ve never been so unsure. This was my first time sitting an ACCA exam as I passed AAT Level 4 and I found it hard.
I think it’s so difficult to actually figure out if what you are writing is correct. I had lots of material mix and yields (which I did not know how to work out). The section C questions were based on the tyre company to complete an ABB budget & then a 20 mark comment on performance of the travel company.
I could not remember the calculations so just made lots of general comments. No idea if this gets me any marks or not!
Hope you have all done well.I figured that each box ticket cost $600 and not that the whole batch of 10 tickets has a cost of $600. Why did you assume that part, when all the other numbers in that table were supposed to be selling price/ticket and variable cost/ticket sold?
Maybe i missed some information provided, reading about your answer I’m not so sure, maybe i missed information provided in the scenario.does anyone remember the answer to the CVP OT case question where they asked for break even sales revenue with target profit for both badminton and rackets?
You firat do the calculation 6,000+9*11 then you subtract 3,500 because the seasonal variations must all total in 0. You had seasonal variations of +4,500 +2,000 -3,000. So you needed -3,500 in order to achieve the forecast sales.

Hi, i am in the same situation as you.
in case it was not enought to scrap a pass – how would you plan for a resit?
i am thinking to focus only on section C on kaplan , specically only on Decision making technique and Performance measure and control.Any thoughts?
i had cost volume Gear and Breaks very similar to a past question from 2012 Robbe Co.
i cannot believe how the examiner can pick something old in the exam kitTotally agree with you. Also what i don’t understand is that due to time constraints and exam pressure, they are giving long scenarios which are not clear at first ,second, or even third attempt. We are just loosing time trying to understand. what the examiner should also understand is that their level of english and ours are not the same. So they should write clear and short scenarios just like what are expected from us.
Yes I thought the same. The section A was much harder then I was anticipating, Section B was ok and for Section C did you get the variances question about the travel company using the V$?
I thought it said in the question it was $600 for the box. It went into more detail underneath ie 10 people in each box and 4 boxes… I thought the calculation regarding the 10 people per box was in relation to the drinks calculation. I calculated that there were 4 boxes so 600 x 4 and then the drinks cost was multiplied by 40 people. Perhaps I understood incorrectly but that’s how I answered. I thought the exam was hard and not like any recent past papers. I did find section c easier to deal with than a and b. There were a lot of variance questions too!
