Anyone else get negative 650 for the NPV question? …so not a worthwhile project.
So annoyed with the lack of working capital questions – this is a massive part of the syllabus yet I got about 3 x 2 mark questions on this!
I failed in June and this is a resit so really disappointed with this.it was my first attempt but gosh I have been so frustrated throughout the whole examination – I spent so much time on risk/uncertainty to comprehend it well with definitions and working capital as well – NOTHING, one question on rec. days and one theoretical part. If I won’t score 50% I will be so mad – that was my breaking point, I will give up ACCA if it’s not a pass honestly.
yes mine was something this fig in -ve. What about the fixed cost that was 3m, i was so amaze to see that figure. i might confuese there
Did anyone get NPV calculation with a choice of real wacc and nominal wacc for discounting in section c ?
Section C was so easy. One question on 4 year or 6 year replacement question and the second one was on WACC. The WACC question was so easy it didn’t have the more complicated items.
Section A and B is hard. Too many question on foreign currency and value of of equity questions. The multiple choice, that does not involve calculation have to pick 3 or 4 items per question which made it difficult. and a lot of file in the blank. Hopefully i get most of the points from Section C.For section C I got an NPV question and a financial analysis using appropriate ratios for the other one. It was pretty straight forward except the NPV question included working capital for net assets, I was a bit confused with that. But section A and B felt really hard. Usually I find A and B straightforward but I’m worried. Hopefully I got the marks in section C too. Fingers crossed!!
I had the same part C questions as, you they seemed easy!
For the replacement cycles did we have to do the NPV’s mine both came as negative? I also struggled abit with the efficiency part as it was a not for profit business
NPV cost for the 4 year cycle was the lowest, but 6 year cycle had the lowest EAC.
The EAC Npv’s where both negative as they are costs (only the scrap value was positive). Do you remember what the written questions where in Section C. I remember The Effiencecy , there was one where we had to explain the EAC process. Using WACC for Investment Appraisal and there was one about the Dividend Growth Model but i cant fully remember
The only complication on the WACC one was working out the Ke especially the redeemable which I did the IRR for 5% and 10%..other than that, I waffled on the 5 marker trying to explain efficiency for VFM organizations lol
Yes the EAC is supposed to be negative, it calculates cost NPV except for disposal proceeds so you were on the right path..
Did you not use the excel IRR formula ? Was a lot easier and quicker. However the “excel” format used by ACCA is so outdated its a joke
