    I had a financial analysis question for Sansa stores in section C and then an optimum production plan for a Steel company, with a make or buy too.

    I think section A and B seemed ok but also not sure I go enough correct. Honestly I’m not sure. Fingers crossed x

    I had on Section C, a question about balanced scorecard for services business, completition of KPI with justification for a courier company. It was a template for the KPI to complete
    The 2nd question from Section C was to complete a flexed budget and to explain the advantages and inconvenients of the participative budgeting system.

    For Section B, 1 question about the LR with many calculations, 1 question with calculation of cost gap, how to decrease the cost gap, for a new target price and the same target profit to calculate the decrease per unit of the labour cost, and the 3rd question was with EV of perfect information, Maximax, Maximin, Minimax regret….

    I had the same exam. I am not very confident about the balanced scorecard question though.
    How was it for you?

    The paper was not hard but we had a lot of obscure topics being tested, my set had sec c questions on salmon co flexed budget and KPIs for a courier company for the flexed budget, I calculated the budgeted costs p.u and flexed the budget to the actual production level also had to do high low analysis to find the manufacturing overhead, It took me few mins to realise we had to flex the budget as I was surprised as this was a question from f2 . Sec A and B were pretty straight forward except for 1 question which was lifecycle cost per unit per year, the calculations seemed very lengthy so left it, so I was only able to write 1 or 2 lines for the justifications in KPIs but im pretty sure I had allocated the existing and additional KPIs perfectly, does anybody have any idea how would they grade it?

    Yes. The staff cost I think must include the Welfare payment, the annual increase, the tax payment and the net salary paid to staff.
    But I got a problem that after calculation of revenue and all costs, I found all three clinics got profit for the year, no loss at all. Can’t find where I was wrong.

    I guess it was 200 substantially so only I got residual income in negative and ROI was increasing, not sure that is correct!

    Both the ROI and RI increase gradually but I think I got a wrong calculation as missing the deduction of 200 each year :<
