I think it went ok! Hopefully carry down marks will count if I’ve messed it up!
March 6, 2024 at 5:13 pm #702179Nothing on divisional performance or transfer pricing at all.
Seemed like a lot of longish calculations and time was tight but should have scraped a pass
March 6, 2024 at 5:15 pm #702180I got transfer pricing and screwed up. Also screwed up in throughput. Still I think it went OK and would hopefully pass lol
March 6, 2024 at 5:15 pm #702181Such a hard section C!! Transfer pricing and Optimal production plan, definitely a re-sit for me!
March 6, 2024 at 5:18 pm #702182Me too I had the same questions and felt it was a disaster
March 6, 2024 at 5:19 pm #702183Same, production plan was just perfect, I think I’d get full marks there but transfer pricing would hardly get 2-4 marks there lol.
March 6, 2024 at 6:12 pm #702199How did you answer the transfer price
I got 1400000 for using the full cost plus 20% and also if they used the transfer of $4
Also got 1400000 if they used $4
The result if they closed down package I got an increase of profit of $40k I think
March 6, 2024 at 6:14 pm #702200Section c I got transfer and CVP
CVP my weighted average c/s was 0.571
Margin of safety was 4%
March 6, 2024 at 6:30 pm #702201@msiraj87 I also got the same answer for the weighted average CS ratio. But wait was the transfer pricing your second Section C question or part of the CS ratio question?
March 6, 2024 at 6:34 pm #702203It was the first question of section C . Second question was CVP.
March 6, 2024 at 6:38 pm #702204Oh okay. My second question was about calculating various indicators of a hospital.
March 6, 2024 at 7:53 pm #702212Found section a and b quite easy few were tricky and I know I won’t have gotten them right. Section c I had transfer pricing and cvp think I messed up with the transfer pricing but hoping I still get a few marks but the written part I done well in. Cvp I done ok I’m think I got a different MOS but same weighted average C/S ratio.
March 6, 2024 at 8:09 pm #702213@katiewebb was MOS around 60%?
And did anyone get rolling budget question in section B? Despite the question entirely focusing on rolling budget I chose Zero-based budgeting as my answer for the first question, because I thought the question was trying to trick me.
March 6, 2024 at 8:41 pm #702216Ermm no think I got around 70% lol don’t think it was right but I estimated that I got at least 36 marks from a and b so hopefully I can scrape 14 marks from section c. The adv and disadvantages of the transfer price being $4 think I will get quite few marks and hopefully I get some from the transfer pricing q’s really didn’t like the studying for PM was a lot. Most of the difficult stuff I revised for didn’t come up which was annoying but glad it didn’t
March 6, 2024 at 8:48 pm #702217Yes got the same, wasnt a bad question at all. The margin of Safety was definetly 4%.
Fixed costs / Weighted CS ratio gave a sales revenue of around £2,4 mill, total revenue was 2.5 mill so around 4%
March 6, 2024 at 9:15 pm #702218I was way out then haha hopefully I can get between 14-20 marks on the section c from the other parts them to get the pass mark. Last one of my applied skills and I am glad can’t wait to move onto the strategic papers and advanced and finish ACCA now haven’t failed any so far and with working full time and 3 kids it’s ALOT.
March 6, 2024 at 9:17 pm #702219I also got the rolling budget question and chose zero-based budgeting on the first part of the question (which focused on a different department than the other parts of the question)
March 6, 2024 at 11:43 pm #702222Do we not all get the same questions? My long answer questions were about margin of safet / CVP & a performance measurement about hospitals?
March 6, 2024 at 11:45 pm #702223@dollp out of curiosity does anyone remember if the rolling budget questions in section B were for referring to the same financial year as the budget in the question?
March 6, 2024 at 11:46 pm #702224@msiraj87 , I got the same I was a bit nervous about whether we needed to add the fixed overheads to the annual fixed costs
March 7, 2024 at 4:42 am #702229There was a learning curve question in Section A, does anyone remember answer to it?
March 7, 2024 at 6:47 am #702255Learning curve yes I had but that was just one.. and the answer was 98.56
March 7, 2024 at 10:58 am #702290@camM2214 yes I have the answer as zero based budgeting as it was a public services company and the research activities could all be put as a decision package
March 7, 2024 at 1:04 pm #702297The exam was ok in first few parts but as to the throughput i think I f**** it up! Hoping for the best, expecting the worst.
