There was a multiple choice question that had something to do with renting printers, in my opinion was not clear enough. I honestly did not understand what was required.
I had the multiple choice as my first question about the printing. I worked out the sales revenue and then deduct the variable cost one of the answer they would have made a loss the other one they would B/E and then I used the next figure as it said minimum profit figure or something. Confused me being the first question as not seen anything like that before
I messed up on my MOS but my question it was only 5 marks? And it also asked you to discuss it so I do not believe all of the marks were just for the calculation. You always get follow on marks as long as you show your workings
I think the answer was zero based budgeting because there were fluctuations in costs(cost increasing).
This question was a trap! Because the rest of the question focused on rolling budget….
I choose zero based budget and then changed to rolling budget.
So far the only question I’m sure I failed……
Sec B I got Rolling/Zero budget.
The was first question on this part asked the suitable budget to be used! This was a TRAP since the rest questions focused on rolling budget….
I choose zero based and then last minute review I changed to rolling budget! So far I’m sure I lost 2 marks…
The scenario was the company experienced fluctuations in costs(cost increasing); so this is supposed to zero based budgeting.
Comrades! what’s your thoughts on this
I also had CVP and performance measurement of a hospital for section C. I was able to get by and got the weighted average as 0.571 or so. But when it came to section b that was a disaster for me. I stumbled on throughput and on the rolling budget aspect but I think the risk and uncertainty with decision trees I was able to get by. I’m just hoping what i have done is enough to get me the 50%….
The question of Throughput Accounting ratio in section B
Can any one reveal the correct answer
I just put an answer
Any answer you remember
One was on the TPAR
One was on the budgeted profit
Highly appreciated for any answer
ThanksI just guessed all my answes on the throughput question of Section B (I believe you are asking about that factory one)
Does anyone remember the answer of the decision tree question? I believe two of the questions were related to decision tree.And also, does anyone remember the theory part of the rolling budget question?
Yes something related to market research and focus group, I was confused btw these two options and then selected focus group
Even I was also confused in the optimal profit answer of Throughput accounting does anyone else remember what was the correct answer?
I put rolling budget as well.
The thing is that it was not stated in the question whether they were actually using a rolling budget.
And I also thought about ZBB
Section B got rolling budget, which was a disaster. Then life cycle costing and CVP
Section C got Fitzgerald and Moon model and operational and planning variances.
Anyone got these questions pls?
Didn’t think throughput accounting questions would be the ones that would chew up all my marks 🙁
Anyway hoping for the best. Praying we all pass this exam.What was the optimum profit then ?
For the TPAR in section B based on your calculation
