    This is why i do not post the work book answers to avoid overload inforamtion.

    My question is , the answers are very different from my mine as you can see from the lenghty workings
    I simply adopted your video steps and Kaplan but it appears the results are not same.

    The profit i got was £230 while the book got over £405.625

    Profit equation = Total income – total expendition

    Thank you sir , i forget to account for the fixed cost
    £100*23-£800= £1500.

    Breakeven in units = £800/£100= 8 units meaning the business must sell minimum of 8 units per month to break even.

    Yes thank sir . I got how you calculated the totals but the contribution per pair of shoes for the Fulfil customer order:

    200 Road 80 33.50 6,700
    200 Spikes 40 21·50 4,300
    200 Trail 60 28·00 5,600

    how was the contribution for each product calculated ? sales per each product varies so also the variable costs.

    how was 33.50 for Road calculated

    Initial investment = 40000
    Scrap value = 5000
    Total = 45000
    Average = 45000/2 = $22,500
    I hope this helps …

    sorry i meant 1460000+ 620000 = 12% CE

    840,000/ 12% = CE
    CE = $7,000,000

    ROI = 1460000/ 7,000,000 * 100% = 20.8%

    Will this be correct sir?

    Yes RI = profit less notional interest * investment.

    ROI = controllable profit/CE * 100%.

    620,000 = 1460000 * 12% ( CE)
    will this equation be correct to get CE(capital employed)?

    In particular, i emphasis on the sales disposal . I understood the 250k has no effect. The profits of 10k goes into the profit/loss account so why are we adding the 50k to the revised net asset?

    Thank you sir. With your narrative , the $120k is effectively not related to your calculation exactly same with Kaplan. What this means is that we are looking at the incremental cash flow . I was able go through again the whole text and ignored the kit.

    Kaplan in its text said we should take the difference of revenue generated and any added costs by ignoring the joint cost as sunk costs . Sorry, technically is not correct based your explanation. It was a joint cost to produce to Product X.

    You taught me F2 on processing costs so I have no problems at all.

    Thank you very much sir. I hope to bring you good news on PM results and look further to APM!

    Thank you sir. , please , in kaplan auditor’s respond to asset vein overvalued and profit overstated due the depreciation charge reduction as asset lives extension ,

    it’s says discuss with directors the rationale for extending asset lives and reducing depreciation rate.

    It further says the revised useful life of a sample of assets should be compare to how often the asset are replaced as this will provide assets useful life!

    Please , could you interpret what this response apart from the discussion part. I don’t understand how this provide evidence of assets useful life to the revise ones.

    Thank you sir .

    Sir , thank you. However, I mean substantive not substantial ( error from me) . I knew what journal is but I was confused how ISAs 330( Kaplan ) meant in the context of Auditing material journals ! Because the 3rd option talked about same thing ! I think I have to stop using Kaplan materials bcos it’s errors are becoming too much.

    Once again thanks .
