Its an album! Scroll down

What formulas should I know for the exam? I don't know any

That just takes me to a new post :0 my phone is tripping 😂

Martins says on page 6 "Budgeted £100,000 annually for running costs"

but then you have calculated 110,000 /52 , where is the 10,000 came from ? I know the 100,000 but not the 10,000 one...

Them.

Thank you there are so many to know

Martin also says on page 6 "£80,000 startup costs" so we just made an assumption theyd pay it off over 8 years. making it £10,000 a year

Add £100,000 to £10,000 to get the yearly fixed costs

This is what they give you in the exam for TSA:

I am praying for it to be TSA, I can remember 2 liquidity and 4 activity ratios but not the profitability solvency or shareholder ratios 😑

Knowing OCR they'll throw a CPA question just to keep us on our toes haha

I swear to god, if they give us decision trees or CPA, I've failed the exam.

Im really struggling with TSA, even after reading the posts here?? I think it will come up so can someone just explain by stage?

I know how to calculate the missing boxes, up to dividing by eight.
I can work out the CV such as the difference between sales and the actual trend.
I can work out the average, such as if they ask for Q3 I understand to add up each Q3 and divide, however I am not sure what to do with this information also..
But, I am not sure what else I am supposed to add, how do I do the graph part? (I know its simple but im just confusing myself)
Sorry if this sounds silly.

CPA would be OK as I've done it in maths, decision trees I haven't done for a while but they're pretty much okay too. ratios are the worst

I'm spending too much time on the calculation question, I need to focus on the essay questions - I've got 1.5 hours to make plans for the possible questions 😣

The adding up each Q3 variation and dividing will give you the Q3 seasonal variation average. For VGL this is +88.33.

You just draw the graph as you normally would, plot the ACTUAL sales (Raw Sales) and then the trend, do a line of best fit for the trend and then follow it on as a dotted line to extrapolate, use that information to then work out the predictions for the following quarters alongside the season variation.

TSA Just predicits the future, its not accurate and should never be used on its own, it does not take into account any external factors.



The thing is, there isnt anything in the case study for CPA, and not even a mention of decision trees or multiple decisions, so cant see how it'll work..
