    I think it went ok! Hopefully carry down marks will count if I’ve messed it up!

    Nothing 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

    Such a hard section C!! Transfer pricing and Optimal production plan, definitely a re-sit for me!

    Same, production plan was just perfect, I think I’d get full marks there but transfer pricing would hardly get 2-4 marks there lol.

    How 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

    @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?

    Found 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.

    @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.

    Ermm 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

    Yes 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%

    I 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.

    @josukegiorno10

    I 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)

    Do we not all get the same questions? My long answer questions were about margin of safet / CVP & a performance measurement about hospitals?

    @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?

    @msiraj87 , I got the same I was a bit nervous about whether we needed to add the fixed overheads to the annual fixed costs

    @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
