mod c here...


1.accounting..

the paper could be best described by word "weird"...it was lengthy and the theory questions were not topic specific....kind of difficult...most of ppl i met said that it was very very difficult.

2.tax

somewhat balanced paper...most of the questions were dug up from details within chapters...not many main topics were asked...but it was manageable..

3. BCBS

ppl thought it was difficult...but not too difficult for me..bcoz i had studied PBP...no question was out of PBP..but some weird questions were there...


i hope other ppl also respond

AOA.WELL TALKING ABOUT MODULE-C,
ACC. THOUGH THE PAPER WAS DIFFICULT, BUT THERE WAS A CHANCE FOR ONE TO PASS THIS PAPER AS NOT ALL THE QUESTIONS WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPREHEND. EXCEPT THAT QUESTION ON ERROR TREATMENT.BUT I MUST CONFESS, THIS PAPERS WAS RELATIVELTY THE TOUGHTEST PAPER OF ACC. IN MODULE C.

TAX. COMPARATIVELY EASY BUT I WOULD AGREE THAT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WERE ASKED FROM VERY MINUTE THINGS.THOUGH THEY WERE DEFINITELY A PART OF I.T. ORDINANCE AND SALES TAX, YET YOU CAN'T EXPECT ONE TO REMEMBER THE WHOLE I.T. ORDINANCE AND SALES TAX ACT.

OB/BC. VERY EASY PAPER, EXCEPT THAT LAST QUESTION ON IMPACT OF WTO ETC ON PAKISTAN'S ECONOMY,WHILE ATTEMPTING IT , I WAS WONDERING WHETHER IAM TAKING ECONOMICS OR OB/BC PAPER.
NEVERTHLESS MAY ALLAH ALMIGHTY PASS ALL OF US IN OUR RESPECTIVE MODULES. AAMEEN.

General Comments-
As far as the "Paper<D12> COST ACCOUNTING (CAC)" is concerned, I think that it was a quite difficult-cum-easy paper, but was attemptable within 3 hours easily. By the way, ICAP has also started to set some difficult questions upto a certain marks level & then onwards-easy questions. Some KEY/CORE questions may or may not be there. As a whole, it was an un-expected one. In this paper, topics like "Accouning for Labour, Accounting for Overheads/FOHs, Process Costing-CPR (American Approach), Marginal & Absorption Costing Techniques, Budgeting" were absolutely ignored. Generally, "Costing for Decision-Making" was given an undue weightage.

Question-wise comments are as follows;
Q-1
(a) (Marks-6)
An easy question was set on the "Cost Classification"; Functional Classification of Costs (Manufacturing/Production Costs, Selling & Distribution Costs, Administration Costs.)
(b) (Marks-4)
A simple theoretical question on "Joint & By-Products & the differences b/w their cost accounting treatments" was set.

Q-2 (Marks-10)
A little bit tricky question on "Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)" was set. Most of the examinees were confused about the computation of costs at discount prices (Rs. 156.40/- etc), holding/carrying costs.

Q-3 (Marks-10)
An easy question on "Cost Bookkeeping & Control Accounts, Cost Cycle/Cost Flow" was set, having reasonable weightage of marks.

Q-4 (Marks-10)
A little bit tricky question on "Short-Term Decision Making; Make or Buy Decisions" was set. It was a bit technical question.

Q-5 (Marks-12)
A detailed & lengthy question on "Multi-Process Production System" (British Approach) was set, which also includes a treatment of by-product, which was extracted as a residue at the end of Process-3, having some scrap value. Less marks were allocated to such time-consuming question.

Q-6 (Marks-25)
This question on "Relevant Costing & Decision-Making with Limiting Factors/Acceptance of Alternatives" is considered to be the most difficult question of the paper. On one side, it was a difficult-cum-technical question, on the other hand it covers almost the 25% marks of the paper. The information was scattered, & more than one decision-options (e.g; discontinuation of a product, additional advertising costs etc) were included.

Q-7 (Marks-10)
A good question on "Breakeven/CVP Analysis", but it requireq technical calculations to compute fixed & variable costs portions for accurate cost estimations.

Q-8 (Marks-13)
One of the easiest questions on "Standard Costing & Basic Variance Analysis" was set. It required to compute the basic various "Materials Cost Variances"; price, usage, mix & yield (or blend) variances. Marks allocated were also reasonable.

Assalamualikum,
this is my first time on forum.i will like to comment on module A exams.
paper of economics was not such a difficult paper.It needed only concentration.The portion of finance & micro dominated.MACRO was ignored but still it was fine.& Q.M also was a fine paper. it took exam of every part of course. course coverage was good.& actually student's knowledge was tested.the portion of Maths was a bit tricky as usual. the portion of stats was traditional i.e to concentrate on sampling, estimation & probability.ENGLISH was as fine as it should b.i think this type of paper making should continue so as to test the knowledge in mere three hours available. lastly i"ll pray to god to give the reward of the hard work to everyone. cheers
