    How did you calculate the break-even point without knowing the Contribution figure? They didn’t give us a selling price in that part.

    I think in a(ii) they asked us to calculate selling price at which company would break even and afterwards in other parts they assumed a selling price

    Yes it was. So they asked us to calculate the selling price to break-even? How do you even work that out when all they provided was the VC and FC figures?

    The $200 selling price was in the next part of the question so that’s irrelevant to that ^

    At breakeven contribution = fixed costs so added fixed costs into variable costs and divided by number of guests. I am not sure whether it was right

    If you look at the question health nuts it was similar to the question we were asked in section C for CVP. I was trying to recall it but I couldnt. It was tricky. I cant remember what I said for the 2nd theory question in section b. I cant even remember the question

    For ROI, I got the same answer as yours. You added back the depreciation related to head office to the net profit too right?

    Did anyone get the below in Section A where they asked to select one option as a prevention of confidential data.

    The director was on vacation and gave his username and password to the junior employee and he emailed the salaries of all senior management which is why HR was not happy.

    A) change username password frequently
    B) IT to check on daily basis which info is being accessed
    C) store confidential data in secure folder
    D) different passwords for different level of information.

    What did you guys choose?

    I got that, as far as I remember revised price for soybeans was 10% less and for Sugar was 20% more.. not sure though and I am so worried I may have done it wrong.. only soybean planning and sugar operational was favourable for me, others all were adverse.

    @thezadzzz

    Did they give any C/S ratio? If they did, FC/ C/S ratio = Break Even revenue / Break Even Units = The selling price !! Or it could have been done by FC per unit + VC per unit as they asked for selling price to Breakeven Eg : if the Budgeted units are 1000. FC is 5000 & VC is 8 per unit then Breakeven Selling price should be (5000/1000) + 8 = 13 per unit Total cost is 5000 + (1000*8) = 13000 Breakeven revenue is also 13000 (13*1000)!! If they give the selling price of $200 in the 2nd part maybe that wouldn’t be relevant in the first part !

    Even if your calculations are wrong, and the wrong calculations makes your discussions relevant in that situation , the examiner will allow you some mark, own figure rule ! You won’t be penalised twice.
