Hi Steve, thanks for the amazing videos on PM. I want to ask, looking at the model answer for this, they write a lot more in the notes when discussing the calculation. I am wondering if we are expected to do that much in the exam or will writing like you have demonstrated in the video be enough
Wow - if I ever looked at this question I wouldnt know how to answer it at all. But the way you broke it down and simplified it! Truly shocked thankyou so much !
Point 9 is just a distractor--it's related to the info above about the fixed costs. So the incorrect answer would be to spread the salaries over the days/weeks. If that wasn't there it would be a clue that you don't need to deal with the fixed costs.
@@SteveWillisACCA thank you for replying! Just a quick question, will this method apply for comparative statements as well? (As in for comparing 2 contracts) If yes, then can we just club the "description column" for both contracts?
@@SteveWillisACCA Yeah sure! So the question gave us Cost Estimates (for 2 contracts) along with notes. The requirements were: 1. Present comparative statements to show the net benefit to the company of undertaking the more advantageous of the two contracts. ; 2. Explain why you have included, or not, each of the items given in the data in your comparative financial statements.
@@aayushiarora2366 If the question asks you to explain why you've included or excluded things, then it's easist to add a column so your comments are lined up nicely with your workings.
That is the lost revenue -- the opportunity cost -- of not selling it and fixing it instead. The decision to modify means I lose 3,000 in revenue. Make sense?

Really great technique. Thanks so much sir. But what about point 9 the last statement?

Can you send me an example of this type of question? The column for discussion is only there because it was a requirement in the question.

Hello, I can't understand why $3000 was used to calculate the modify cost for Swipe.?
That is the lost revenue -- the opportunity cost -- of not selling it and fixing it instead. The decision to modify means I lose 3,000 in revenue. Make sense?
Perfect
Thanks
Keep up
Will do!
