Title: SWD
Post by: aposta28 on November 04, 2010, 03:05:59 pm
So they use the insect spray for 1 dollar
that makes the value $10

Was $10 the NRV or was it $9

This exam, it was so poorly written
Quite ambiguous!

NRV was 9.

NRV was 9.

Had the same. NRV 9.
Title: Re: SWD
Post by: Chavi on November 04, 2010, 03:12:25 pm
Definitely 9, cause NRV is estimated selling prices less any additional expenses involved with marketing/distribution
i.e. 10 less 1 = 9

yeah thats correct.

however, it says the spray will be 1, that will give a value of $10

I am sure people assumed that it was already deducted and that word 'value' meant the NRv

Strange wording...

Didn't say value, it said 'will be sold for $10'.

"Upon further inspection of the 48 units on hand at 31 December, it was determined that these units were also diseased but were unable to be returned to the supplier. A special spray will be applied (at a cost of $1 per unit) that will allow the units to be sold for $10 each."

Hmm, it is a little ambiguous, but I think the intent was to put NRV into practice. . .

I dunno, the wording is horrible. I just assumed that the '$10' was already the NRV...and didn't deduct the 1 from the 10. Hence, my stock writedown came to 240. >.> How many marks will I lose for that? >.<

I pretty sure those flowers were 'diseased'. The exam was quite clear about that. Stay away from them unless you're trying to infect someone with malaria.

Ok. I just received secret information from VCAA headquarters. Any Asians that go near those diseased flowers may experience symptoms including cramping diarreah, vomiting, skin bleaching, exam breakdowns, and in extreme cases death. If you experience any of these, please consult your statement of marks. :)

Depends how you set out your answer. Technically, I think you might still get the marks.

I was thinking as I did it why there was so many lines and marks. Probably should have just looked at the question book ayy ;)

So how many marks lost from omitting stock write down.

Also im curious as to what people wrote for Explain the method for valuing closing stock.
I wrote a physical stocktake but  now i realise this is so wrong :(

That's what I thought, didn't you just have to explain what NRV was?
Title: Re: SWD
Post by: Stormer on November 04, 2010, 04:35:54 pm
I just said if NRV is lower, you need a stock write down.
Title: Re: SWD

Yeah most people i asked put NRV. One of my friends also put stocktake.
Omg it was so obvious it was NRV why did i write stocktake...

$240 (48*5). I assumed the $10 was the NRV - though I didn't realise that you were meant to add the special spray of $1 to the $15.

I subconsciously thought that i had to lower that 1 dollar, but my hands didn't agree with me. Got 240 as well :(
Title: Re: SWD
Post by: _avO on November 04, 2010, 05:29:42 pm
IMO the writers for this years exam was epic fail.. first the sundry creditors then no reporting period given (wtfail) and lastly such an ambiguous question that doesn't specify mark up (can't assume anything). Only thing I found was good was that they had a lot more tricks in the exam so yea that was challenging
