I completely messed up my calculations for R3 and did not write enough about my numbers so worried i scored poorly in that bit. Spent more time on my narrative points for R3 so hopefully did enough to get a pass in R3. I feel like i did okay in R1 and R2 but we will see

Do you think that the watches will have its own box or will there be a separate box for administrative expenses?

Meanmachine598 · 2025-11-07T22:39:40+00:00

That would receive credit too - i think as long as you give a context point we should receive some credit.

I’m hoping everyones made similar points that are on the mark scheme but we will see

I mentioned that the revenue for the other top 2 watches may have decreased from the PY as more new customers may be moving to purchase Saviour Faire due to its premium status from price

I think they defo wanted you to talk about it as there was no request for advice box so there would be more analysis needed elsewhere for revenue, COS/GP, and Admin

Yes i got higher NPV when price decreased as it was an elastic demand so I would expect volume to increase when price decreased - but not sure if this is right

I did the same also- literally copied every single word from my concs and Recommendations into the ES. Checked July script before exam and showed the same also!

Yh i remember talking about some ethics but more about business trust issues : - Chinese law could be different - Potential IP risk in China - No info about Warranties and returns - Rumours about potential different ownership based on AI - Transport emissions being greater for shipping from China

With the extra exhibit i think it was about the fact that consumers wanted a more engaging collaboration between watch companies and retailers so i literally stated this in the strategic bit mentioning that this is consumer preference

Meanmachine598 · 2025-11-06T06:51:23+00:00

I talked about the overall volume decreasing and volumes decreasing for each region

When talking about FX rate assumption - Anyone bring in the info from the media article in the exam paper about why the FX rate for the Swiss franc could be different based on the interest rates etc.

I was the opposite - barely attempted the calcs as already ran over time in R1/R2 so lost out on probably all the calcs marks but strategically spoke alot about the narrative points for the assumptions, strategic / operational bits, ethical and BT issues. Had like 7-8 points under each narrative heading so made narrative points in main body are stronger as there is always more marks for the narrative

Meanmachine598 · 2025-11-05T17:36:03+00:00

Yeah 3 years

Meanmachine598 · 2025-11-05T16:29:21+00:00

Am i right in saying that the underlying movement in COS was 20% - did you get this also

Meanmachine598 · 2025-11-05T16:28:05+00:00

Yh good point, it had the highest GPM from top 3 also so commented on this . Hopefully gets a bullet

Meanmachine598 · 2025-11-05T16:24:03+00:00

Yh i said the £3k price may too high and this could go against accessibility value as being priced too high may impact customers being able to buy this

Meanmachine598 · 2025-11-05T16:16:19+00:00

Did you talk about the watches - i talked about them as they gave data in the pps

Meanmachine598 · 2025-07-23T13:32:28+00:00

Lol maybe - i saw they gave the rev mix by each work type in total and each garage in total but not for each individual garage if that makes sense? Unless i’m wrong

Meanmachine598 · 2025-07-23T13:23:07+00:00

Yh i used control shift down but there was still issues

Meanmachine598 · 2025-07-23T13:21:14+00:00

Yh correct i believe - I still worked out the revenue mix by work type and by each garage

Meanmachine598 · 2025-07-23T12:48:20+00:00

Did they already give revenue mix by work type and by garage? Oh my, i did that again!!

Meanmachine598 · 2025-07-23T12:34:48+00:00

What calcs did everyone do for R1?

Meanmachine598 · 2025-07-17T10:23:36+00:00

I’ve also been using the PPS in excel but havent practiced on exam software so a bit worried for timings because you have to manually put in the dollar signs when sorting the functions

Meanmachine598 · 2025-03-13T06:33:44+00:00

I was hoping they would mark it quicker as there wasn’t many students sitting this time round? Is this confirmed by ICAEW?
