How did you calculate contribution?

@limlre What were your section C questions?

Did anyone get the sugar and soybean section c question??

My section c question was a CVP question which was very tough tbh. And then a balanced score card which was too bad

I had the sugar and soybean section C question which asked to calculate operational and planning variances. Then a smaller question asking about manager performance relating to those previous variance answers. That bit said about 2 extra marks for other calculations but I wasn’t sure what other calculations they would be, does anyone know? Other section C was a 14 mark discussion about profitability/turnover/quality of service/employee satisfaction at (something like) “Meylitt Company”

@liz.cush Where your variances favorable or adverse? And i believe the additional calculations would have been the total material variances (usage+price) i only remembered this after the exam lol

Even same for me.YA

Is advertising cost included while calculating throughput accounting ratio?

@limlre What were requirements of cvp question?
