    A firm is considering the introduction of a new product. Internal and external data have been collected to support the decision making :

    1) Labor costs have been estimated by the works study department.
    2) Raw Material costs have been estimated from quotations obtained from current and potential suppliers
    3) Demand has been estimated using economic forecasts published monthly by a Trade Association Journal.

    Which of the above are examples of PRIMARY DATA SOURCES ?

    1) 1,2 and 3
    2) 1 Only
    3) 2 Only
    4) 1 and 2 Only
    5) 2 and 3 Only
    6) 1 and 3 Only

    SIR KINDLY LET ME KNOW THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR IT AND SHORT REASON PLEASE.

    Why are you attempting questions for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers.

    You can find the answer and the reasons in my free lectures on the sources of data.

    Again, why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer?

    The works study department will be a primary source because they are collecting the date for the specific purpose. The same applies to the raw material costs.

    A question came in my exam as follows :
    Which of the following would be problems when measuring the performance of a non-profit seeking publicly funded hospital that does not charge for it’s services at the point of consumption ?

    1) Multiple conflicting objectives
    2) Measuring the value of outputs

    1) 2 only
    2) 1 only
    3) Both 1 and 2
    4) Neither 1 nor 2

    Please confirm me the answer for this one, I will be very thankful to you.
