    Supposed to times it by 12 aren't you?

    25/200 * 12 = 1.5 months & the 2 years = 2 years & 1.5 months, which i rounded to 2 years 2 months?

    not sure, my tutor always said you could either put (example) 5.5years or 5years 2 months (obviously i just made those figures up) but i never bothered learning how to convert it to years and months becuase he said it was ok to leave as 5.5 years or whatever, hope he is right!!!

    Does anyone know how much you will get marked down for using £'s instead of pennies and vice versa?

    I had 39k as well. For the years and months took the first 2 years, which didn't cover the initial 400 expenses, then took the rest, divided by 12 which gave the amount per month, then divided the amount still needed to get to get to 400 by the above, which gave me 8.46 months.

    you need 2 years then 25/200=.125 then .125*12=1.5 months which i put 1.5 month as didn't know weather to round up or down lmao

    well i knew it was a debit to p and l as you increase expenses to decrease profit so if you think of it as a t account it would be carried down as a debit to p and l....

    I put FIFO for 1st question (after crossing out LIFO), put semi fixed (crossed out semi variable argggggggghhh) and stepped costs and cant remember the rest of the stuff. Mind is now even more boggled after reading everyone elses answers.:001_rolleyes:

    And I used Lifo instead of Fifo in the first question !!! As well as not knowing the first graph was for variable costs ! I just bunged down direct ! I knew the second one though

    I believe the fst graph was a semi variable - not variable - It started part way up the left hand side which to me indicates that there is a level of fixed cost before the variable kicks in

    yeah, the costs were to be per pence I think it was 7p, 3p and 6por smmi tlike that, then at the bottom for the total contribution, profit etc... it was to be in £, hence £500000, but now I think that should have been pence, bugger !

    I went for FIFO. I had a complete block on what the alternative was for the overtime payment? What did everyone else put?

    The overtime on the question was charged as a direct cost - other type of cost it can be charged to is an indirect cost......?

    did everyone put Economic Order Quantity as their answer for deciding if 70 was a good order value for the company on the basis that it finds the optimum order levels?

    I meant 500000p which should then have been £50000. And this was the exam I was most comfortable with, and sh........ myself over wednesdays

    i mean the question which was direct labour divided by the cans of tomato soup produced - £4130/200000, came out as 0.02065 and it asked for it in pence so it should be 2.065 pence

    no no you're right. All the top bit was in pence then below the units of sales was in £ - just to be really confusing!
