What did everyone think about the Accounting F013 exam

Did you guys get 133,000 as the net cash flow from operating activites with the two separate depreciation figures being 25000 and 26000 or 51000 as a single figure? Also was your guys retained profit figure £2350, or atleast close to it? The total value of the share issue was definitely £1,100,000 with 500,000 shares issued. £625,000 being allocated to the Share Capital Account from the A+A and £475,000 being allocated to the Share Premium Account from the A+A. Thoughts please?

Ah crap yeah I am afraid you did need to balance it mate because they gave information for you to work out that there were Bal b/d's on both the Share Premium and Share Capital accounts implying that the total and NEW Bal c/d will be the Bal b/d plus the transfer from the A+A account. You lost one mark MAXIMUM on each account. It was basically a share issue of £2.20 for 500,000 shares which comes to a total of £1,100,000 but it was oversubscribed by £100,000 so you received 1,200,000 in total and returned the £100,000 straight away through the bank which was a debit on the A+A account.

u could re calculate those a/c s . lol dunno really. I checked previous years boundaries found the highest was 71 for an A . so... can't be higher than this can it?
Hopefully not! 71 is ridiculous for an A! It should be 80%

The only reason I havent talked about it is because I completely *****d that question, simply because I didnt know what frs 18 was until later on when I searched and found out it's about stating accounting policies and stuff but tbh in the exam I just blagged how it's put in place to protect shareholders for example the revaluation being portrayed to them would be successful in ensuriing they are not deceived or misled by the increase in capital worth of the business and can therefore make informed decisions.

There were no real tricks and accounts tends to have higher grade boundaries in general it will be approximately 68-70 for an A

As long as u got all the calculation parts right, this isnt really a big prob.

did anyone else get the balancing figure to be £902,350? also loan interest - admin expense or in the appropriation of profits with tax etc?
Yes, I got that too. I put loan interest after operating profit in the p & l account
