Hi John,
Can I ask if i should buy the latest kaplan study text and bbp exam kit for Sep21 exam onwards?
Or can I make use of Sep 2018- Jun 2019 Kaplan text and BBP exam kit Sep2019 to Jun20?
I decided to take AFM in Sep’21. I re-took the exam for 5 times already. 🙁 Its the last paper.
Could you kindly advise how to study smart if i left 8 weeks to study before the exam?
Thanks in advance
Your Revision Kit is fine – you do not need to buy a new one. (Given that I assume you have already been through the Study Text, I would not spend any more time on it).
What I would suggest is the following:
Watch my free lectures (or because of the time constraint, certainly watch those lectures on topics that you are less confident on).
Watch my ‘Revision’ Lectures working through a few question 1’s from past exams (because I spend time in the lectures discussing the approach as well as the technical content).
Work through all of the technical articles on the ACCA website.
And, most important of all, attempt all of the questions in your exam kit (and download from the ACCA website questions and answers for the most recent exams). Do not look at the answer until you have attempted the question yourself – that is the only way to really learn from your mistakes.
Make sure you have worked through the practice CBE exam on the ACCA website and that you are confident in using the formulas available on the website (such as the NPV and IRR functions).
If you find any problems with past exam questions then ask in this forum and I will explain 🙂
Hi John,
Can I ask you for mar/Jun 16 Louieed part b. Calculate the value of Tidded share per original bid.
Why do we x5/3 to find the value of Tidded Co? Can you please explain the logic? I am quite confuse why we use PE ratio of Louieed and x 5/3 to find the value of Tidded co share price.
Thank you
The original bit was of 5 shares in Louieed for every 3 shares in Tidded.
So had that bid been accepted, anyone owing 3 shares in Tidded would lose those shares (which would be cancelled) and would instead be receiving 5 shares in Louieed.
The PE of Louieed is used to find the value of the Louieed shares that Tidded’s shareholders would be receiving. The 5/3 is because given that Tidded has 90M shares, these would be cancelled and 5/3 x 90 = 150M new shares in Louieed would be issued and given to Tidded’s shareholders.
Thank you. Now i understand. 🙂
I have another question. For Mar/Jun 21 section A part c i, can you explain why did we 75% x $1,882·8m to find the Value attributable to equity of Kawa Co? I can’t find the 75% in the question.
Per share value = $1,412·0m/2,000 million shares = $0·71 per share -> Why divide by 2m shares, when this consist of Chakula co shares? Per question Kawa co shares is only 24.5% out of total equity of Chakula co.
Thank you!
In future you must start a new thread when you are asking about a different topic or question. (It is because many students use the search facility to see if their problem has already been answered.)
As per appendix 1, the MV of equity in Kawa is $1,200M and the MV of debt = $400M
Therefore the equity is 75% of the total, and the question says that they intend to keep the same capital structure.
The question says that initially Chakula’s shareholders will own Kawa on the basis of owing one Kawa share for every Chakula share owned by them.
Hi John,
