PMrelevant cost Anaylsis

i will try to find it for you.

@mark2010,

well , relevant cost analysis is an addition to new F5 syllabus. So i guess u won't find it in F5 books of last year. So either purchase new ones, or at least ask friends to get that info for you or search in internet.

Basics of relevant costing were covered in F2 course, see OT notes, page 91.
In F5 OT notes, it's page 43.

regards,
ansi

@ ansi:So can we rely on the OT notes for this topic and the ones not in the last year study text?

@sam713,

I'm not quite sure that i understood what u said :)
U can rely on OT notes, but keep in mind that they are very brief and absolutely not sufficient for exam.
U need at least one complete exam text (e.g. Kaplan or BPP) updated for 2011 sylabus.
U can try to do as many students who failed exam last time or those who don't want to buy books do.
That is : using old F5 book and notes like Opentuition and others for new topics.
However, let's just say it's very risky :)
and i don't think that saving some money is worth this risk.

But it's just my opinion.

Good luck

Here are some notes:

hi all,
thanks for your help , any other ideas appreciated

-rkhama, (note notes mentioned in your last mssg.) thanks for your advise!

hi mark2010 could you please inform what the situation is related to relevant cost analysis in new syllabus? I have the same problem as you

Hi easahin,

the breakdown according to the new syllabus is this (sure you already seen this):
At this point i am just gonig to go try see what i can find on the internet and use whatever the OT notes offer. Hope this is some help!

This is the area of the syllabus where most of the additions have taken place.
They start off with a new area being introduced into the Study Guide, which
reads as follows:
B1 Relevant cost analysis
a) Explain the concept of relevant costing.
b) Identify and calculate relevant costs for specific decision situations from
given data.
c) Explain and apply the concept of relevant costing.
Students need to be able to both discuss relevant costing, breaking down the
definition to see what its three elements are, and also deal with some testing
calculations. When it comes to labour and materials costs, in particular,
students can find calculations quite challenging in this area. The key is to
wholly understand the definition of what a relevant cash flow is, rather than

trying to learn flow diagrams to guide you through (although I am not saying
that these aren’t useful).

ok I see Thanks
