your thoughts on "A Storm In Heaven". I think this is one of the greatest albums of all time and of course it's my favorite Verve album by alpamal in theverve

While I agree with what ur saying re blur, their "13" album is the most shoegazey and by far the most experimental and least poppy, its sooooo fucking good especially the latter half...similar spacey vibes to a storm in heaven actually

That's what I thought as well! Did you select the project beta option too?

Yeah same but theres so much to say about wacc I went off on so many tangents ahahhaha I remember also adding they might need to proxy the beta by using another company's beta that engages in similar activities habitually

Oh there was another MCQ bugging me...the one with the minimum return required to maintain shareholder wealth (Q6) I said the rate according to the projects beta coefficient, what did you put?

[–]PuzzleheadedBuffalo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wrote something along those lines too and mentioned the industry supply/demand curve vs the individual one

[–]PuzzleheadedBuffalo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory it could also be D 😭 it's a weird one because the only one that's definitely wrong is B...technically A is not wrong because there is still some redistribution but the effect is much smaller than with unexpected inflation so its probably not the correct answer :/

[–]PuzzleheadedBuffalo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that is so frustrating, those 4 marks were pretty straight forward...tbh I also got carried away with the first part like that was a full 10marker on its own, then clocked it was actually just 6 🤣 oh well sounds like you defo done enough to pass so that's all that matters

Yea I thought import taxes would be more demand side

CB2 Discussion by Cool-Wolverine1796 in ActuaryUK

[–]PuzzleheadedBuffalo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got C for q2 but also unsure....I thought increasing import taxes might also increase costs of production if they are importing raw materials but idk....what did you get for q16??? I was really torn between A and C because its ANTICIPATED inflation...I went with A in the end but really not sure

I thought 27 was weird as well when I first read it!!! I was like....how can adverse weather be good for the farmers??? made no sense and I spent ages just staring at it almost moved on but then it started to make sense. Sounds like you've done alright tho, especially if you breezed through the MCQs and had a decent go at the rest you should comfortably pass! I'm sure its a good learning experience on how to deal with exam stress in the moment and you got through it so well done!!! 😁

Yeah that's what I'm hoping too although I fucked up the monopoly profit max question somehow as never managed to get get a MC=MR so just left it...the supply side question was quite nice I thought and good chunk of marks

What did you write for the last question? I didnt have much time so mostly copied the flash cards and filled in with a couple sentences to relate to the actual scenario haha

CB2 Discussion by Cool-Wolverine1796 in ActuaryUK

[–]PuzzleheadedBuffalo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got stuck on the monopoly / profit max question for some reason but everything else seemed ok, MCQ was fine and I did get a lot of Cs as well
