As I've read that ACCA will not publich the new sitting exams (March & Sep.) for our practice, I suggest that we publish here the structure of the questions that we attempted recently. I can remember: Question 1: Question 2: Market Value of an entity: i)EV/S Method ii) Asset based... Question 3: Valuation of a company and how would affect the new operation to the Shareholder wealth. Question 4: Interest rate and Forex Hedge Question 5: a) Lease or Buy Please correct & complete me. I remember the following topics but I'm not able to reallocate to the corresponding Q: ARR calculation; Working Capital; MCQ: Monetary & Fiscal Policy; Exchange Rate Risk: Working Capital;... Thanks in advance.

question 1b, what are the advantages of a centralized treasury department question 2a, market value of a company using the following approach: (i) asset based method, most people assumed it was net asset when the question clearly referred to it as asset based method. (ii) cash flow method (iii) earnings yield method 2b) what are the disadvantages of using the cash flow method for business valuation purposes. question 3a) the company wanted to raise $20million through loan notes issues, we were given the current income statement and the statement of financial position and the current industry average for certain ratios, such as operational gearing, interest cover and return on capital employed, there were growth due to inflation for certain items in the income statement such as revenue and cost of sales, all that was required was to redraft the financial statements taking into account the impact of the loan note on the company 3b) the question asked for when a weighted average cost of capital could be used for investment appraisal purposes. question 5a) advise on whether the company should lease an asset or buy an asset, the question seemed like a replica of the past question named ASOP Co question 5b) the difference between real and nominal cost of capital
