LOL.Classic.No ratios.Are you sure they arent just giving us the 2007 paper without ratios

NanoZoom555

nope far as i know they're thinking of taking ratios off. The reason Incomplete is coming up is because it was so badly answered last year. Tabular will be a 100 marker

titan18

Doesnt ratios have to come up like the thing that goes in Q1.They cant take it off without telling us.THat would be cruel especially as I'm good at them

JC06

I'm thinkin a Depreciation of Fixed Assets question for 60 marks and a Club Account question for 100 marks...
Maybe Marginal Costing for one of the 80's? Think it will be pretty similar to some of the mock papers...

What? Are you fecking well joking me?! My teacher has been on the circuit for years, I mean YEARS! She is friendly with Christy Tyrell and I'm pretty sure she would have known if there was someone else writing the paper. And if that paper comes up, then I'm screwed! I'm banking on Manufacturing, Club and Published and if I really have to, a ratio and a marginal costing on Q8.

NanoZoom555

ratio's doesn't have to come up every year,it just has!and my teacher thinks that depreciation is too easy and that revaluation will be up instead.

Christy Tyrrell is setting up the paper. . i doubt tat he wouldnt bring up ratios cause there would be war especially because it is 100 marker. .its so easy to figure out whats coming up tho. .just follow the trends!!:):)

It's Christy Tyrrell's first year setting it on his own apparently.. He won't put up any surprises.. Ratios will definitely be up.. Then other possibles are Club, Published, Incomplete Method 2 and Cash Flow.. Can't see anything else coming up. Manufacturing for q1 and no idea for q8

BlueCam

Q1 Manufacturing (possible: departmental).

Q5 Ratios.
Q6 Published.
Q7 Club (possible: cash flow).

Q8 Marginal and absorption costing.
Q9 Budgeting or flexible budgeting.

It's quite simple, really. Just look at the trends. I've a feeling tho bout those departmental accounts.

Departmental will never come up.. They're far too easy

Mars Bar

Which Q8 is the one with the Manufacturing an d trading account? I'm thinking it's budgeting. That better come up or else I'm seriously f**ked!

NanoZoom555

theres a trading a/c in cash budgeting for Q.9,but its unlikely to come up as it was there last year.

They're easy if you've ever done one... but very few people have even heard of them let alone done a sample one, so I can see them being stuck on there some day just to catch a hell of a lot of people out

Oh yes, I remember doing that last year, it's alright if you get the first half right. I must be thinking of the Flexible Budget then...

NanoZoom555

you've to do a marginal costing statement at the end of flexible budgeting...

Mars Bar

God damn it...*runs to the other side of room and searches frantically for accounting books*

Mars Bar

Okay, it's a marginal costing that I'm hoping for!

drunknmunky_69

is it seriously christy tyrrell setting it?shur it'll be a laugh so...my predictions:

60 markers:
suspense
depreciation
club/cash flow

100 markers:
published
cashflow/club

budgetting
production

costing
marginal

a sweet paper if u ask me...g'man christy

jessie11

manufacturing

interpretation...definately
club
published

xy budget

LayLay

Oh please for the love of God, no suspense or tab as 100's. :eek:

I hope:

Depr 60
Published 60

Cash Flow 100
Club 100

Marginal 80.

This comes up, I will be singing from the rooftops. I think a club and depr are likely to come up. Both haven't in a few years.

Petie_Pie

I have beem teachin myself the course this year...

60marks:
Depreciation...
Cash Flow..

100 marks:
Club
Published

80 marks:
Budgeting...

Although... does anyone know what the main difference between 60 mark and 100 mark for cash flow is like?? or how to do incomplete type b??
lol

jessie11

are any of u attempting interpretation?

i hate them but they are guaranteed

Mars Bar

Yeah we are...well I won't be doing it if Club and Published come up together. God I hate them but they are starting to get a bit easier the more I practice them!

Well actually no they are not guaranteed!! It doesnt say so in the syllabus. The only reason they keep coming up is because students are answering this question poorly.

AaronCregan

I'm doing Interpretation of Accounts, they're so easy once you know your formulas and how to comment.

My predictions are:

60 Marks:
- Depreciation of a FA
- Cashflow
- Suspense

100 Marks:
- Interpretation of Accounts (gauranteed)
- Club
- Published

80 Marks:
- Functional/Flexible Budget


We left out Q1 and Q8 and focused on the other questions.

Its NOT guaranteed!!

Petie_Pie

See the ideal exam paper most people are thinkin of is the exact same as the pre,,
Will they not change it slightly??

drunknmunky_69

i was looking back over the old mock papers and i think it was 2002 or 2000 or something it was almost the same paper.then i compared the 2006 mock paper to the actual paper and it was totally different.

Does anybody think tabular will appear?

orangetictac

Hopefully it's like the easy pre. Cuz the other 1 had similar questions but was a good 20% harder
