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

June 20, 2022 at 10:17 am #659025Why 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.
June 21, 2022 at 5:48 am #659047Sir I listened to your lecture TWICE, But unfortunately my concept is not enough clear and I am not able to get the correct answer for above question.
Kindly Let me know the correct answer for above question with some short reason so it may clear my concept and please let me know that work study department is internal or external source ?Many thanks
June 21, 2022 at 8:55 am #659058Again, 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.
