I got a question.

If say now I left 2 paper left in F level ( F8 and F9 ), and say that NOW I'm taking F9, P1 and P3. I mean am I eligible like that?

Or must I take F8 and F9 then only i can take the P level papers?

The last sitting for F9 is totally gone, and F8 I think is also gone.

Just want to confirm. Thx.

Good luck for those taking. I'm already half dead. Taking f8 f9 p1 and p3.

For those went philip woo class, don't spot. I got burn by him the last sitting and this time i realise he didnt gave spot but area which need to be cover. All the question he gave and ask to read, just make sure you can cover all that.

for f8, anyone know a question for Non profit organisation question? I cant seem to find 1.

F9 study a lot of question and theory. Make sure your solid in invesment appraisal, WACC and Capm, share valuation and forex, npv.

p1 study all i guess. The syallabus is too narrow and is hard to sport and its not that much to cover.

p3 im so dead. Not sure whether to start. LOL.

p1 and p3 most important is that you know how to apply the theory and how you argue. Thats what PS always say which I find it true.

Here are some tips for ya. Hope it help but take it at your own risk ya XD
F8 = for non profit organisation you can try Dec 2008 Q4 (small part but i think it's important to obtain a passing mark in it)

P1 = Try to concentrate more on risk mgmt, stakeholders claim/demand & interest (mendelow matrix), hospital things (due to H1N1 current global issue), social environmental audit, AAA, ACCA Ethics, Kohlberg CMD.

P3 = No spotting. All are examinable and not to give up when writing because it's an argumentative paper. You will not know your answer is right or wrong and till the result out only then you will know.

Good luck to you. I'm currently taking P1 and P3 this sitting. Sorry that I cant provide you with F9 as I took the old syllabus on 2.4 and got exemption.

Thx. For all paper I'm not spotting because no point. Best is to master those area which are important.

p1 kolhberg if im not mistaken came out last sitting so not sure this sitting they will repeat or not. P1 i kinda like cover all because the syllabus is not too wide.

p3 True. Well im so dead because 1 of the topic call Project Management which i dont understand at all and is the most important? LOL.

For p1 and p3, best way is to read and understand the past year question. I find it useful and able to understand better on the application of the theory. I hope it helps.

Anyway, thx and good luck.

Whose processing cost? Usually all costs will be included in the total cost, then we just take the selling price x tax rate right?


Added on December 3, 2009, 10:32 amGuys, I have an F9 question regarding WACC.

Say that we have a current capital structure of 60% debt and 40% equity, say that means we have some 12% debentures as existing debt.

Then we have a new project, which will be financed by raising 11% debentures and retained earnings, in the same 60:40 proportion, how do we appraise this project? What discount rate do we use? Do we just take the new 11% and retained earnings? or we have to include our current 12% debentures?

What if as per the scenario above, but the proportion is different, perhaps now 50% debenture, 50% retained earnings, how do we caluclate the WACC?

How do we know if the question is asking for overall corporate WACC or project specific WACC?

Cheers

Your question is not in F9 syllabus but p4. I might be wrong unless I'm able to see the full question.

Since they are raising new finance, basically your finance risk has change. Now the 2nd question you must ask is does your biz risk change. If it does then you have to use APV method if not and the biz risk is still the same then you have to use MCC.

Agree last round was really easy. Especially when 1 of the question was on section 7. LOL.

Good luck for those who are taking this sitting.
