Hi guys,

Well in all fairness the exam wasn't easy. It was long and time consuming, but what do you think the A+ cutoff will be

Depending on the last question mark allocation, about 77.

It's gonna be very high for this exam - because the state probably found it easy.
I'd say 84/90

Nah, I don't think so. The 2 reports would see most people lose a mark or two. As well as that you have to factor in performance in end of years to always be a bit worse and the length of the exam

Preparing the GL and reports were a total of 25 marks. That's 25 mistakes that you can easily **** up

So judging from previous assessor's reports, most students do badly on theory, rather than simple reports.
So if the state does well A+ goes up

Hrrm, but these aren't really simple I guess. Last years was 81 and I think you can agree that this years was harder? Also the theory was not as basic, they may have been askign the same thing but worded differently. I felt the Creditors Turnover theory question was pretty challenging as well as the Sales estimate.

Ye, I guess time will tell and this is all speculation :)

What did you answer for the CTO question - that cash is kept by the firm longer so that it can be used for other more pressing short term debts?

Creditors offered no discounts so there was no benefit to paying earlier since the figure was well below credit terms. Instead, the business could have used the cash for investments such as NCA. (paying for more immediate debts works too)

Right. I left out the fact that there were no discounts offered, but had the same answer as you.

I'll wager 78/90 for the A+ cutoff. About the same difficulty as the Mid-years.

That 78/90 included the Sundry cred question worth 4 marks that every received full marks for.
So the cutoff was in fact 78/86.

Given that VCAA gives everyone full marks for the final ambiguous COS question, then you may be right.
