sir can u post a link on which acca f5 mark allocation is shown on acca website?
The mark allocation is shown at the end of the answers for each of the exams on the ACCA website.
I cannot post a link – there are lots of past exams on the ACCA website. You can find them by following the links on the website.If you get 48.5 then your paper will be remarked by the examiner.
If it stays at 48.5 then you fail. The pass mark is 50.

Hi,
I have a slight problem with yesterdays F5 paper. I filled all the questions out in order and shaded the question number at the top of the page. However, I have realised today that I didnt shade/tick the questions attempted on the front cover. Will this affect my mark?

sir i wiil correct half answer not a full question examiner will given a no of half question
In Section A, no – it is 2 marks or zero.
In Section B, yes – each part of your workings is marked separately.
Hi John
Something has just dawned on me, I might just be doubting myself and I have really done it but if you haven’t shaded the question number at the top of your pages will they still mark your paper. Feeling like I have lost my mind 😀
Thanks in advance

with regards to question 2 part a)they asked us to explain briefly why senior stylist have been identified as the bottle neck and support using calculations.
what i done is i defined bottleneck resource described the ways in which we can determine it and how it limits the overall production within a business. i then went onto add both the times given in cuts and treatment department for all 3 stylists individually. and i found senior stylist took 2.5 hours the longest making it the bottleneck. i actually showed all of this. will i get 4/4 for section a?section b of q2)managed to get two tpars, but unfortunately cost per factor hour was wrong but throughput return per hour was correct. can anyone provide me with guidelines of how much will i lose in question q2 overall thanks.
I cannot possibly say how many marks you will lose or not lose – the examiners decides on the marking scheme and will publish it when the examiners answers are published.
The marks are for workings rather than the final answer. If your approach is valid then you get most of the marks.
Ok but can you tell me if my method is valid for part a, the 4 marker? Thank you
From what you wrote, I think so (but I cannot obviously see your script 🙂 )
This is what i wrote exactly.
Bottleneck activity is the activity within a business which limits the overall production capability within a business. it can be determined in one of the two following ways.
a) its either the department/activity which takes the longest time to produce in comparison to other departments making it the slowest rate producer.
b) OR its the department which produces the least amount of ouput/acitvity incomparison to other departments.
specfically to this situation if we look at the assistants,senior stylist and junior stylist the time taken by senior stylist in both processes of cuts and treatment is longer giving a total of 2.5 hours incomparison to assistants and junior stylists which take a total of 0.4 hours and 1 hour. hence it can be clearly seen that senior stylists are the slowest rate producers making them the bottleneck.
