QUOTE(junggle @ May 23 2012, 06:27 PM) Foundation in art?? =.= ACCA??? I wasn't able to look at the question but I have done it before. If my memory serves me correctly, the new chef introduces the organic ingredients. They were definitely using non organic ingredients before. There was an unrevised standard cost card which caused the huge MPV hence it certainly is because of the higher prices of organic ingredients and not anything else. Added on May 23, 2012, 6:49 pm The other thing is that i found that assessing performance is really time-consuming. It's really hard to link the clues given by the examiner... So long as I make sensible comment, it wouldn't be marked wrong right?? For example, Crumbly Cake (June 09). We has been told that 'the business should use only organic ingredients in its cake production. Organic ingredients are more expensive but should produce a product with an improved flavour and give health benefits for the customers. It was hoped that this would stimulate demand and enable an immediate price increase for the cakes.' And it turns out the material price variance is adverse. However, we has not been told that whether previously is organic ingredients being used in production. If it really does use organic ingredients previously, then there would have been a standard price for organic ingredients. So the material price variance would not be an effect for changing of the ingredients used. Thus can i say that the adverse material price variance is caused by the poor negotiation skill instead of saying that the variance is caused by changing of ingredient based on my assumption?? |

QUOTE(maggie7aa @ Jun 1 2012, 06:26 PM) Hi everyone It's not the college that you should be considering but the paper that you're sitting for. Good lecturers are not all teaching in the same college. I am deciding whether to go sunway or elitejaya(or bandar? kasturi?) for my acca in this coming july. I heard that sunway is not as good as it seems... Also, I am not from KL area so I have some accommodation issues Can anyone give me some advice and show me any pros and cons regrading on this? What papers are you sitting for ? |

QUOTE(maggie7aa @ Jun 1 2012, 07:55 PM) Well there are many good lecturers in the klang valley. I'm taking te exact same papers this term. F4 - Ms Sanjeetha @ Kasturi - I was not in her class but had friends in it. They were very happy. F5/F6 - I took both these papers under Mr Low Chin Ann @ Kolej Bandar. He's a great lecturer. Very thorough, doesn't skip parts and makes complex topics easy to understand. |

QUOTE(maggie7aa @ Jun 1 2012, 09:32 PM) How about Sunway? Np. I'm glad to help. I don't know much about Sunway apart from what I've gathered from friends and LYN. Many of them seem to believe that Sunway's standard has dwindled drastically and that the exorbitant fees they charge are not justified. Apparently only a few of their lecturers are really good, eg Mrs Menon of P2. However I'm unable to substantiate any of these claims as I've never taken any papers there. So they're all just here-says to me. Its best for you to read through older posts here. You should be able gather the info you require.Frankly I plan to go Sunway but I worry that the fees are too high so it might not worth it So I want to know the advantage and disadvantage of both college Thank you for your reply! |

QUOTE(adrianzz @ Jun 2 2012, 11:00 PM) Hey,guys..i have a question regarding F5..Do you guys think by doing past year question is enough after studying the whole syllabus? It should be sufficient for most parts of the syllabus. However there were a significant number of new topics added effective June 2011 sitting and most of them have not been questioned yet. CVP analysis and environmental mgnt acct to name a few. So if you're just practicing questions from the past years, then you would not have any practice on these topics.Added on June 3, 2012, 2:24 amThe others are decision tree, single resource limiting factors, perfect information and relevant costing. Relevant costing questioned in last sitting. This post has been edited by hrevijay: Jun 3 2012, 02:24 AM |

QUOTE(junggle @ Jun 3 2012, 02:23 PM) lol.. i think i really have to kill my lecturer!!!! Ha ha. . Env mgnt is completely theoretical. However I don't expect an entire question being set on it, probably just a few marks. CVP on the other hand has significant calculation an graph work, so If it does come out, only a very few marks may be allocated to theory- cvp limitations would be my best guess. For CVP & Environmental Accounting, there are technical articles written by the current examiner. I really hate the style she set the questions, more towards theoretical rather than applying =.= You're right about the tech articles. There's one on almost every topic. They're really helpful and pretty easy to grasp. |

QUOTE(junggle @ Jun 11 2012, 08:15 PM) F5 killed me!!!! Sorry to hear. You're the first person I thought of when I saw the paper, and the list of topics you mentioned today. Q1... outsourcing... i've done it wrong!!! I want to cry... Argh Q2... target costing as expected but all are theoretical... i was happy when i saw target costing until i found that there is no calculation AT ALL!!!! Q3... multiplicative model - time series... my lecturer only taught us addictive model.. goddamnit!!!! behavioral aspect of optimistic budgeting... wooh... bullshitting again Q4... operating statement... 12 marks should be in my hand... but the rest of the 8 marks... Goddamnit... I don't know what the hell TQM is... so blank... can't even find anyway to bullshit. Q5... ROI and RI... i got a negative RI and an one-digit ROI, clearly indicating that i was wrong!!!! and the behavioral aspect of performance measurement.. I'm going to fail. FAIL. FAIL!!! The new examiner is totally a crazy woman!!!!! Despite the fact i gave up my F6 to focus on F5, i still fail... God... I found it really hard. Calculation work dramatically reduced. I got screwed over the TQM part as well. This post has been edited by hrevijay: Jun 11 2012, 08:31 PM |
