Question about F5 syllabus

They are assumed knowledge from Paper F2. There will not be full questions on them, but you are expected to know what they are.

Thank you for your reply, Professor Moffat. I have downloaded the new formulae sheet from ACCA website and found that there are no regression analysis formulae in it; I guess there is a chance of getting a theory-related question o this topic, not the numerical one.....

Yes - you are correct :-)

Will there be numerical questions on linear programming/iso contribution and planning with limited factors as there is no straight line equation given on the formula sheet? Is it just linear regression and coefficient of determination they won't be expecting you to do a numerical question on? Many Thanks

There can certainly be numerical questions on linear programming - it has been asked many times in the past and they have never given equations for this on the formula sheet.

Professor Moffat, I wish to know in detail exactly what major changes have been made to Part E of the syllabus- Performance Management SYSTEMS,measurement and Control. What is the Systems part of it?

If you look at the syllabus on the ACCA website, the additions in this area are listed in detail at the end of the syllabus. There are no calculations required in relation to the additions - they will be written parts of questions - and they are unlikely to be more than a small part of a question.

i am appearing in june 2013 exam.wanted to ask whether changes in syllabus in march 2013 is applicable for june exams???plz rep soon

There were no changes in March - the changes were made at the end of last year and apply to the June 2013 exams. You can see the new syllabus on the ACCA website. The course notes are updated for the changes.
